Statement of Purpose: UCP has a mission to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities. Our vision is to live in a society where people with disabilities have the same opportunities to live, learn, work and play as do people without disabilities.
Geographic Area and Population Served: Despite our name, almost 60% of those United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati (UCP) serves have a primary disability other than Cerebral Palsy, including traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, Multiple Sclerosis, Stroke, and other developmental and acquired disabilities. UCP serves more than 450 individuals and families directly each year. Training and technical assistance are provided to several hundred individuals who interact with people with disablilities in community settings. UCP’s children, youth and adult services assist individuals and families throughout the Greater Cincinnati area, including Hamilton, Clermont, Butler, Brown, Adams and Warren counties in Ohio; Boone, Campbell and Kenton counties in Northern Kentucky; and Dearborn County in Southeast Indiana. However, we do not limit our services by county lines.
Organizational Budget and Support: UCP operates on an annual budget of approximately $2.5 million. On average, more than 85% of our budget directly supports UCP services and programs in our community each year, which is one of the highest ratios of health service based non-profits. UCP’s budget is supported by fee reimbursements, the United Way, and our own fundraising efforts. We must generate nearly 20 % of our budget through our own fundraising, including grants, direct fundraising and special events. You are assured in knowing your financial support of our unique programs and services is effectively used to its fullest capacity.
Community Needs and UCP Response: UCP National reports that one of every 2 adults has a family member or close friend who is disabled, and one in every 3 homes has a household member with a disability. They further estimate that more than 54 million Americans have disabilites. And physical disabilities are on the rise. For example, 20 years ago, the average number of cases of cerebral palsy was one per 1,000 live births. Today, that number has jumped to 2 to 3 per 1,000. Five hundred thousand Americans have CP and related disabilities. And physical disabilities are on the rise. Given the above trends, UCP supports our community’s growing needs now more than ever in its 60 year history. Today, UCP is a community leader in helping people with disabilities and their loved ones, and their communities acquire knowledge and skills that make our vision a reality. With improvements and changes in community attitudes and capabilities for inclusion, the programs and services offered by UCP have evolved into a continuum of support from infancy through the growing years, and continuing throughout adult life. To meet the needs of our population, UCP focuses on proven training and services to help individuals and families achieve and maintain increased levels of independence and community participation. Programs are designed and delivered in ways that lead to specific outcomes based on individual needs and desires.
United Cerebral Palsy of Greater Cincinnati reaches out to people in the entire Tri-State area to help increase and achieve independence.
