Founded in 2016, The Shooting Star Foundation is a non-profit, Christian organization that provides financial assistance to Minnesota families for the care and development of children with special needs.
Our Mission
The Shooting Star Foundation is dedicated to helping children with special needs receive early-interventional therapy that can change their lives.
Our Promise To You
We Finance
We provide financial assistance to local families to pay for developmental therapies for their child with special needs.
We Partner
We partner with the best therapy providers in Minnesota who offer early-interventional therapies including speech, occupational, feeding & physical therapies, autism programs & ABA.
We Focus
We focus on children with special needs from birth to age eight. By enhancing their access to therapy at a critical period in their development, we offer children the best opportunity to enroll in school programs and beyond.
We Give Hope
We provide hope to families. The financial and emotional challenges of caring for a child with special needs are significant. By working to ease that burden, we help families look forward to a brighter future for their Shooting Star and everyone in the family.
