The Epilepsy Foundation of America® is the national voluntary agency dedicated solely to the welfare of the almost 3 million people with epilepsy in the U.S. and their families. The organization works to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; to improve how people with epilepsy are perceived, accepted and valued in society; and to promote research for a cure. In addition to programs conducted at the national level, epilepsy clients throughout the United States are served by 47 Epilepsy Foundation affiliates around the country.
In 2013, the Epilepsy Foundation merged with the Epilepsy Therapy Project to bring a stronger focus on accelerating new therapies in a timeframe that matters to individuals living with epilepsy today, as well as sharpens organizational focus on education, awareness and advocacy.
