The Donaldson Legacy Project

The Donaldson Legacy Project is dedicated to providing accessible mental health services for residents of Ellis County and the surrounding areas who would otherwise be unable to afford care. Established in memory of the late Dr. Katherine Donaldson and Dr. Kerry Donaldson, the project honors their shared commitment to community, compassion, and clinical excellence. Together, they dedicated their lives to ensuring that no one would be turned away due to financial hardship or lack of health insurance.

Dr. Katherine Donaldson served the Ellis County community since 2000 and was known for her deep compassion for clients of all ages and backgrounds. Dr. Kerry Donaldson stood beside her in that mission, contributing her own expertise, leadership, and heart to the work they carried out together. Their legacy lives on through the clinicians and staff at Donaldson Wellness Center, where the values they instilled—service, empathy, and inclusion—continue to shape every interaction.

The Donaldson Legacy Project was founded solely to carry that mission forward. It provides pro bono and sliding-scale therapy and psychological assessments for individuals and families in need. All donations are used to increase access to mental health services.

We invite you to support this important work. Your generosity helps us extend the Donaldsons’ legacy and ensure that residents of Ellis County and the surrounding areas have access to the mental health care they need and deserve. We have applied for 501 (c)(3) status and once this is approved all donations will be tax deductible to the extent of the law.
