The Kenan J. Sklenar Fund for

Direct Support Professional Advancement

Honoring Ken’s commitment to supporting Direct Support Professionals who strengthen our mission and the lives we impact.

Your gift will count towards a $100,000 match.

Donate Today!

This fund was made possible through a generous $100,000 matching gift from the Homes for Life Foundation and Lanny and Micki Edelsohn. Their investment will establish endowed funds that support career pathways for Direct Support Professionals (DSPs), the dedicated frontline staff who make our mission possible every day. By providing opportunities for skill development, professional growth, and meaningful incentives along the way, this fund will help make their work more rewarding and strengthen our ability to retain valued members of the Easterseals family.
