Our Mission
With Samantha Marcia Stevens as its core inspiration, the Foundation places special emphasis on the needs and dreams of children and young adults with disabilities physical, emotional, social and/or economic, as well as providing support for the non-profit organizations who serve them – all heroes in their own right.
Through their philanthropy, The Stevens Family Foundation works to raise awareness and help provide these Superheroes with their most powerful voices, that they may better inspire us all to become our best selves.
How We Help
Who We Are
We are a family of modern day superheroes helping those in need. See our superhero personas below!
“My name is Samantha Marcia Stevens, and I live just outside Boston with my mommy and daddy. Even though I’m only 11 years old, I’ve filled my life and the lives of everyone I meet with smiles and happiness.
I was born with Down syndrome, but that was not a surprise to my family. They had been told I would probably have Trisomy 21, and they didn’t care. My mom always says she knew there might be challenges but she always wanted me. I know I’m loved and that my parents think about my future. My mom says she hopes I’ll “always have people around to help” so that nobody can push me around. She believes I help everyone around me be a better person.
My name is Samantha Marcia Stevens, this is my story, and I am worth it.”

“Brian and Kathy, thank you for your donation, the second-largest individual gift in university history. It is my hope that your gift paves the way for others to support the noble cause of public higher education and directly invest in the future of our commonwealth by supporting our students.”
