Our Team

Danielle Scott Griffith, M.S.W., L.S.W., began her over 25-year social work career in 1997 at the Defender Association of Philadelphia, where she worked in various social services departments until 2005.

She and her husband Scott welcomed their son Rowan in December 2005 , and in November 2007 she gave birth to their daughter, Chloe, who was unknowingly born with a rare chromosomal disorder and subsequently diagnosed at 3 weeks old with retinoblastoma, a series of malignant tumors which impacted both of her eyes, leaving Chloe with serious physical and mental developmental delays. Danielle spent the next 6 years focused on Chloe’s care, which included multiple eye surgeries, oncology treatments, physical and occupational therapy, and feeding and swallowing sessions at Children’s’ Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia, PA. Chloe has since flourished, attending the Widener Memorial School in Philadelphia, PA for children with special needs.

Upon re-entering the workforce, Danielle knew she wanted to continue her social work career, this time assisting families with children who required special attention due to their medical needs and financial demands. Danielle became the Program Director of the Dolan Fund where she directly served families requiring financial assistance, planned and provided support groups, family fun days, resources and advocacy, and coordinated holiday programs.

Recently, Danielle became the Executive Director of the Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund. Danielle’s vision for the Fund is to continue to serve those families with children who have medical necessities and suffer financial hardship, and to grow the Fund to serve even more families in need.
