UCP’s mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. UCP is one of the largest and most efficient health charities in the United States, with a combined national budget of more than $750 million for research, public policy advocacy and direct services. System wide, an average of 85% of all revenue is dedicated to programs.
With a nationwide network of affiliates, UCP provides direct services to more than 1 million children, adults and their families every year. Each affiliate offers a range of services tailored to its community’s needs. 65% of people receiving services from UCP have disabilities other than cerebral palsy.
UCP encourages all media requests. Our organization strives to provide valuable background, research and public policy information to the public through the media. Additionally, UCP can connect journalists to experts on cerebral palsy, as well as an array of disability-related subjects.
