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 "Send A Kid To Camp" grant, since 1984, has helped support students during summer months. Due to the COVID pandemic's impact on learning, the grant's scope has expanded to address unfinished academic learning beyond summer. It aims to mitigate the educational barriers students faced during the pandemic, such as school closures and limited access to technology. With a partnership with local nonprofits, the grant seeks to help students reach appropriate academic levels by funding projects that address these unfinished learning needs. Specifically, it provides $10,000 per year for two years (2023 and 2024) for efforts within Chatham, Durham, Orange, and Wake Counties, covering needs like supplies and staff time for K-12 students affected by pandemic-related educational disruptions.
