How You Can Help

When you donate to United Cerebral Palsy you make it possible for us to provide programs, services and independence to the over 1,000 children and adults we serve daily. You are also creating a tax deduction for yourself because contributions to UCPLA, a 501(c)3 organization, are 100% tax deductible*. Donating to UCPLA helps you, while you are helping others!

As one of the largest direct-care service providers and advocates for persons with disabilities in Southern California, UCPLA's goal is to help individuals with cerebral palsy and other developmental disabilities maximize their own potential and live full and dignified lives. Your contribution will help us to provide individuals and families with housing services, physical and occupational therapy, support groups, education, job placement and daily living assistance.

UCPLA has been recognized by The NonProfit Times, Money Magazine and The Chronicle of Philanthropy for excellent use of donor dollars with over 85% of each dollar being directed to programs and services .
