Dedicated Changemakers
who we are
As we work collaboratively to improve the lives of people with cerebral palsy — and we are — our path forward is a result of us working together – from our talented team, to our committed Board of Directors, to our Scientific Advisory Council of leading experts.
Our Mission
We are driving a paradigm shift.
The Cerebral Palsy Foundation exists to improve the lives of people living with cerebral palsy, prevent cerebral palsy in the future where possible, and build pathways to a cure.
History
Over the past 70 years the Cerebral Palsy Foundation (CPF) has grown into the largest non-government funder of cerebral palsy research in the United States, Ireland and in many parts of the world.
This has been achieved through the work of renowned thinkers in science, research and medicine. But it was first imagined by dedicated, visionary parents who wanted to make a difference.
