INMED Partnerships for Children and the Freddie Mac Foundation Celebrate a Decade of Partnership

In 2004, INMED and the Freddie Mac Foundation marked the 10-year anniversary of their partnership to strengthen families and their children in need.

Since awarding seed funding to launch MotherNet Loudoun (MNL), a perinatal outreach program, in INMED’s global headquarters location in Loudoun County, Virginia, the Freddie Mac Foundation has invested more than $1.1 million in MotherNet’s programs to improve the health, lives and opportunities of local children. Over the past decade, INMED’s MNL and expanded MotherNet/Healthy Families Loudoun program have helped over 10,000 families give their children a healthy start in life.

“The Freddie Mac Foundation is thrilled to partner with INMED in serving some of the most vulnerable families in our community,” said Community Relations Manager Dean Klein. “Our long-term investment has brought tremendous outcomes for some of our neediest families and children.”

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its partnership with INMED, Klein and the Foundation’s Senior Vice President, David Robinson, joined MotherNet/Healthy Families Loudoun staff for a home visit with a participant family. After reading books with the family’s twin boys and hearing their mother’s testimonial about how MotherNet/Healthy Families Loudoun had helped the family through the children’s premature birth and ongoing health challenges, Robinson presented each of the boys with a teddy bear and $1,000 savings bond on behalf of the Freddie Mac Foundation.

MotherNet/Healthy Families Loudoun Director and INMED’s Director of U. S. Programs, Dr. Judy Hanley, emphasized the importance of the Foundation’s support. “Without the Freddie Mac Foundation, we would not have been able to reach the families we have served over the past decade, to help them overcome insurmountable obstacles, and to experience the privilege of hearing participants thank us for ‘saving’ their families. We are grateful for the longstanding support and commitment the Freddie Mac Foundation has provided to us and to the Loudoun community.”
