The Paralysis Resource Center, as part of its mission, aims to impact and empower people living with paralysis, their families, and caregivers. This is achieved through initiatives that promote inclusion, involvement, and community engagement, as well as by enhancing the health and wellness of those affected by paralysis across all 50 states and U.S. territories.
This grant program supports initiatives in three key areas: Actively Achieving, Bridging Barriers, and Caring and Coping, focusing on improving the quality of life for individuals living with paralysis, their families, and caregivers. It targets a wide range of conditions such as spinal cord injuries, stroke, spina bifida, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The Expanded Impact Quality of Life grants are aimed at projects that have shown significant success and are ready to be expanded, with the goal of broadening effective solutions to reach more people affected by paralysis.
