Leadership Statement:

What inspires our board and staff is following through on and achieving in our lifetimes what they so generously and courageously started. This is a civil rights movement and although the baton was passed to us in the most unfair and sad way, we will hold it brightly and with our founders' optimism until we reach the finish line.

Evidence of Impact

There are no summaries available for this organization.

Expert Comments

While the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation has been extremely active in pushing research for spinal cord injury, in the last few years, I've seen them increase Quality of Life Grants, which directly help those living with spinal cord injuries until a cure is found. One specific example is the additional funding to provide adaptive wheelchair equipment and train athletes to participate in marathons, along with the general public, including able bodied runners who are raising money for the charity. This provides an incredible amount of impact to the families of people living with disabilities - and many, many others who have been affected so much so, that they are committed to raising funds for the organization. The CRPF is active in several states - including IL, DC, NY, NJ, TN and more. — Nonprofit Senior Staff

Areas for Improvement

There are no summaries available for this organization.

Expert Comments

Would be great to see them hire people with spinal cord injuries to work in different areas of the country, thereby increasing the ability to reach more grassroot needs. The foundation would ideally provide a conference that brings together the specialists in spinal cord to talk to each other - and then provide a comprehensive summary, in-person, to people living in wheelchairs - who may have a greater appreciation and possibly provide further insight to practical advances. — Nonprofit Senior Staff
