What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Affiliate Support Activities
Support of Affiliates: Approximately 58 local service providers or UCP affiliates (56 in the US and 2 in Canada) reached more than 155,000 individuals and their families on an annual basis. Affiliates services include housing, clinical therapies, assistive technology training, early intervention programs, transportation, individual and family support, social and recreation programs, community living, state and local referrals, employment assistance and training, advocacy, information, and referral and promote research. UCP National supports the network of members through affiliate and national revenue sharing programs ((online giving, the vehicle donation program, direct mail, and workplace giving)). In addition, UCP National facilitates a national annual meeting, two regional affiliate convenings, and quarterly CEO virtual town halls, topical calls, affiliate portal, Case for Inclusion Annual Report, webinars, National Update Town Halls, and federal-level advocacy.
Bellows Grant (Non-federal)
Non-federal (Bellows): Assistive technology often plays a vital role in the lives of people with disabilities. Assistive technology is any item, piece of equipment, or product that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of individuals with disabilities. We offer financial assistance through our non-federal grant program, The Bellows Grant, which helps pay for assistive technology equipment to individuals with disabilities that cannot afford to purchase this live changing equipment or special devices. Use of this program is available only through UCP affiliates.
Public Education
UCP educates the affiliate network through the Life Without Limits and Network News e-newsletter and seminars, such as the Professional Learning Series and newly developed affiliate portal. At the annual meeting, now open to the public, valuable information is shared on cerebral palsy and disability-related issues, as well as philanthropy and leadership topics. UCP also educates the general public through its newly revamped and accessible website, which provides information for parents, caregivers, and people with disabilities around the globe in several languages including a text-to-speech feature. UCP will also provide Information Referral (I&R) services through its partnership with an affiliate where individuals can obtain information on how to contact their local, state, and federal resources by either calling a toll-free number or submit an inquiry via the UCP website. Bi-lingual staff members will be available to answer inquiries in both English and Spanish.
