The mission of the Durham Cerebral Palsy Foundation Fund, held at Triangle Community Foundation, is to provide assistance to North Carolina children living with cerebral palsy. Established in 1951, it supports the purchase of necessary equipment and services to enhance the lives of children affected by cerebral palsy.
The grant program initiated by the Durham Cerebral Palsy Foundation Fund aims to support nonprofit organizations by providing block grants. These grants are intended for the purchase of necessary equipment and technology, as well as covering the costs of special one-time services or treatments for families of children with cerebral palsy. The program is designed to help with the acquisition of mobility aids like wheelchairs, strollers, and accessibility equipment, plus van lifts and other modifications to improve accessibility. This support reflects a shift from individual grants to a broader, impact-oriented grantmaking approach.
