United Cerebral Palsy

The mission of United Cerebral Palsy is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with disabilities through an affiliate network. The United Cerebral Palsy national Office, located in Washington, D.C., provides direct support to the affiliates via fundraising, marketing and communications, best practices, and programmatic support, just to name a few. We also serve people with disabilities and their families through the development of forward-thinking programs, information and referral service, legislative advocacy, technology initiatives, and research. UCP is the leading source of information on cerebral palsy and other disabilities and is a pivotal advocate for the rights of people living with disabilities. More than 65% of people served by UCP have disabilities other than cerebral palsy.
