MI - UCP

MI - UCP We are MI-UCP, a statewide nonprofit organization that’s been an ally and advocate for people with disabilities for the past 75 years.

MI-UCP (Michigan United Cerebral Palsy) was founded on the belief that everyone has the right to live to the best of their abilities and go as far as their ambitions will take them. We have been an ally and an advocate for the 2.3 million Michiganders with disabilities since 1949. As one of Michigan’s largest sources of support, education, referrals, and services for people with disabilities and their families, MI-UCP provides assistive technology, financial assistance and tools, advocacy, and employment services to promote equity, independence and inclusion for all. Originally focused on individuals with Cerebral Palsy, currently more than 65 percent of the people MI-UCP serves have a disability other than CP. Find out more at www.mi-ucp.org​

We are seeking major gift donors from across the state and beyond to participate in this unique
campaign. Whether you are an individual, business or foundation, this will provide you with the
invaluable opportunity to align with an ally and advocate for the 2.4 million Michiganders with
disabilities. Through support of this campaign, you can put your dollars to good use, while also
supporting the life-changing work of MI-UCP.

As one of Michigan’s largest sources of support, education, referrals, and services for people with
disabilities and their families, MI-UCP has been providing assistive technology, financial assistance and tools, advocacy, and employment services to promote equity, independence and inclusion since 1949. Originally focused on individuals with Cerebral Palsy, currently more than 65 percent of the people MI-UCP serves have a disability other than CP.

With your help, we can build more ramps, we can provide more assistive technology grants,
we can help more people advocate for education and employment opportunities and benefits,
and we can offer more loans through our loan program, delivering much needed support to
more individuals and families.

Join us in our fight – by being part of this exciting campaign benefiting MI-UCP!

World Cerebral Palsy Day is a global movement that celebrates both people with CP and their allies, working to create a more inclusive world. Every year on October 6, people in over 100 countries come together to raise awareness, share their stories, and call for meaningful action.

This year, we’re “Unique and United”, celebrating what makes each of us different, and the power we have when we come together. There are an estimated 50 million people with CP around the world. By uniting our stories and needs, we can show why inclusion matters, everywhere.
