About Spastic Children'S Endowment Foundation
The Spastic Children's Endowment Foundation concentrates its philanthropy almost entirely on nonprofit services for children with disabilities, primarily by funding one long-term provider. Its awards are dominated by large, capital and general-support grants to Momentum Agencies to secure and upgrade facility space and sustain programs serving children with special needs; only a very small discretionary grant went to another disability-focused nonprofit. The foundation appears focused on ensuring infrastructure and operational stability for organizations that serve disabled children in its community.
