LEADERSHIP DONORS CHART THE COURSE

By giving to ADF, every gift ensures a resident in financial need will remain at Knollwood, paves the way for investments in the facilities, and allows us to add innovative programs that make Knollwood a more premier living facility.

Donors are invited to join one of the ADF Giving Societies whose impacts make our mission possible. The donors in these societies create tremendous impact, enjoying a special relationship with ADF leaders.
