OUR IMPACT

CURE Epilepsy was founded in 1998 by a group of parents desperate for answers to save their children.

Our grants support both established and early-career researchers focused on epilepsy research.

We are the only US nonprofit laser-focused on funding research to find the cures for epilepsy.

Research will lead us to CURE Epilepsy

Our mission is to find a cure for epilepsy, by promoting and funding patient-focused research. We identify and fund cutting-edge research, challenging scientists worldwide to collaborate and innovate in pursuit of a cure for epilepsy.

Since being founded in 1998, CURE Epilepsy has been at the forefront of epilepsy research, raising more than $90 million to find a cure.

The answers are out there, and we’re determined to find them.
