The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation (CRPF) is committed to funding research that develops treatments and cures for paralysis caused by spinal cord injury and other central nervous system disorders. The Foundation also vigorously works to improve the quality of life for people living with disabilities through its grants program, paralysis resource center and advocacy efforts.

Since 1982, CRPF has awarded over $53 million in research grants to the world's best neuroscientists. CRPF grants are catalytic. We support new initiatives, take smart risks, and make sure our research dollars are spent to do the most good.

In addition, through our Quality of Life Grants program, CRPF has granted over 700 Quality of Life grants for a grand total of $6.5 million to nonprofit organizations that help improve the daily lives of people living with paralysis, particularly spinal cord injuries.

The Fighting Back Scholarship Program is proud of our association with The Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation. Through their very generous Quality of Life grant, we are able to extend our program to more individuals in our area that have a need for ongoing physical rehabilitation.
