The Kelly Brush Foundation is a Burlington, Vermont-based nonprofit focused on helping people with spinal cord injuries lead active and engaged lives. It supports this aim by providing inspiration and grants that enable individuals to acquire equipment needed for participation in adaptive sports and outdoor activities, emphasizing the broader social and personal benefits of an active lifestyle beyond recreation. The organization positions itself within the spectator sports and adaptive sports ecosystem, addressing physical, financial, and psychological barriers to activity for those with SCI. Founded after Kelly Brush’s injury in 2006, the foundation also emphasizes safety in ski racing and ongoing advocacy to ensure athletes train and compete on safe venues.

In addition to grants, the foundation has pursued partnerships and programs that expand access to adaptive sport opportunities. Recent developments include launching ambassador programs and collaborations with organizations to enhance support for people with spinal cord injuries and their families, illustrating a broad approach to community-building around active living and sport participation.
