Strength Fund

No one knows better the power of giving back than our creative and compassionate clinicians, researchers, and staff.  The Strength Fund is Spaulding’s employee giving program, where individuals who work across Spaulding Rehabilitation can contribute on a one-time annual or recurring monthly basis to further bolster our collective efforts to improve patients’ lives.

Spaulding Professionals Council

Members of the Spaulding Professionals Council (SPC) are driven and passionate early-career professionals who are united in a common goal to promote and advance the mission of Spaulding through volunteering, peer-to-peer fundraising, special events, and community engagement. To join, all members are asked to make a one-time annual donation of at least $150, which goes to support Spaulding’s most urgent priorities.

“The Spaulding experience is not just about the physical spaces or the programs; it’s about the people and how they bring it all together. It’s about how they give you hope. It takes a lot of support and resources to keep this important work going. We do whatever we can for Spaulding — because it matters.”
Terri Yahia and Willis Wang, parents of Ethan, a Spaulding patient
