The Cerebral Palsy Foundation is a New York City-based nonprofit that aims to drive positive change for people with cerebral palsy by bringing together researchers, clinicians, and organizations worldwide to influence healthcare, education, technology, public awareness, and policy. Over its 60-year history, it has focused on improving health and quality of life through evidence-based programs and by providing no-cost health education resources via its websites and social channels. The foundation represents the global CP community, advocating for inclusion of people with cerebral palsy and their families in schools, workplaces, and healthcare systems, and partners with businesses and schools to advance real-world inclusion. In public policy, it works to increase federal investment in CP research at NIH and CDC, engaging lawmakers and agencies to educate and draft policy language. A recent development includes the announcement of the Cerebral Palsy Breakthrough Summit to be held in Los Angeles in early 2026, reflecting ongoing global engagement.
