$665,304 spent48% of program spendingPublic education: the ucp affiliates provide support and services to about 200,000 people with disabilities annually, one person at a time, one family at a time, meeting the unique needs that each possesses. Through our network, ucp provides such diverse programs as childcare, supported living, education, health, employment, housing, transportation assistance, early intervention, job training, research, day programs, and recreational activities. Ucp supports public education and outreach programs, providing information and social networking resources to parents, caregivers, and people with disabilities in the us and canada affiliated regions. In addition, ucp educates and informs the affiliate network through the life without limits and network news e-newsletter, including webinars, such as the professional learning series, and via town halls, topical calls, and annual/regional meetings. The annual meeting provides valuable information on cerebral palsy and disability-related issues, as well as philanthropy/development, state and federal advocacy, governance, leadership topics, and other valuable information. Ucp also educates the general public through the life without limits…
$375,097 spent27% of program spendingNon-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. Ucp offers 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 life changing equipment or special devices. Use of this program is available only through ucp affiliates.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2024 to 2025, from $12M to $13M (+14%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2020 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
57% of UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 16 funders to 17 funders, grant income fell $216k → $198k.
11 of 67 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 67 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 43% of grant income and the top three 62%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
89% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 55% · 2018 82% · 2019 78% · 2020 51% · 2021 39% · 2022 53% · 2023 48% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
26% of UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 34% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
61% of UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $610k that is directly attributable, 90% of it comes from funders outside Virginia, across 20 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $943k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
