About United Cerebral Palsy of Alabama
United Cerebral Palsy of Alabama Inc funds a statewide network of disability services rather than a single program line.

Across the recent grants list, the foundation supports organizations that serve children and adults with developmental disabilities, with awards that reach local affiliates in Birmingham, Anniston, Mobile, Huntsville, Northport, and Sheffield. Its giving aligns with a lifespan model of support. The foundation’s broader profile centers on life without limits for people with disabilities, and the grant record reflects that through organizations serving people with cerebral palsy and other physical disabilities, along with family caregivers and parents. East Central Al Ucp in Anniston appears in multiple years, as do Ucp of Mobile, Ucp of Huntsville & Tennessee, Ucp of West Alabama, and Ucp of Northwest Al.
