Knott Foundation Awards UCP with a $61,000 Grant

The Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation has awarded UCP a $61,000 outright grant to fund the salary of a licensed pediatric physical therapist at its Delrey School.  The UCP Delrey School’s physical therapy program focuses on improving gross motor skills, muscle tone, and joint range of motion in order to help children with disabilities find a means of mobility that enables them to interact with their environment and become as independent as possible.  We are very grateful for this generous donation and look forward to the positive impact it will have on our program.

The Marion I. & Henry J. Knott Foundation is a Catholic family foundation committed to honoring its founders’ legacy of generosity to strengthen its community.  Working as a family, it’s guided by the following shared beliefs and values: understanding and responding to the needs of its community through informed grantmaking; respecting the values of the Roman Catholic faith; engaging in the ongoing education of trustees and staff in the field of philanthropy and the nonprofit community; ensuring good stewardship of the resources entrusted to its use, and encouraging open communication, compassion, respect and trust among community, staff and family.
