“A society grows great when old men plant trees in shade they know they will never sit.”
– Greek Proverb
Now, as Discovery’s Board of Directors looks to the future, they believe it is prudent to develop another steady source of funding. Many of Katie’s family members and friends contributed generously to a memorial fund established in her memory and it is those contributions that are the seed money for the Katie Combs Endowment Fund. It is the intention of the Board of Directors to add to this endowment fund annually and to invest the income generated. With additional donations and careful management, Katie’s Fund will eventually generate sufficient income to continue Discovery’s mission of providing financial assistance to families in critical need of mental health services for the next 50 years.
As we plant our tree, we thank you for your support and invite you to join us in growing Katie’s Fund and providing fruit and shade for the next generation.
You can donate directly to the fund by clicking below:

Thank you to all who contributed to Katie’s memorial fund that provided the initial critical funding to establish Katie’s legacy and to those who have donated to the Endowment Fund.
