Fund research. Find a cure.
Supporting research and awareness.
Epilepsy Canada is a registered Canadian charity dedicated to positively affecting the lives of those living with epilepsy. It's sole mandate is to raise monies for epilepsy research with an objective of finding a cure. It demonstrates the need for research by highlighting key issues related to those whose seizures cannot be controlled through existing medication and treatments and the tragic cases of SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death from Epilepsy). Through its active financial support of epilepsy research, it strives to help the Canadian neurology community find a cure for epilepsy.
Epilepsy Canada is governed by a nationally representative Board of Directors, comprised of leading professionals from the neurology and business communities. Founded in 1966, the organization depends on donor and volunteer support for the continued development and delivery of its research grant programs.
Funding Key Research Programs.
Epilepsy Canada is a national non-profit organization that supports research into all aspects of epilepsy. The association is very proud of the high quality of research projects it sponsors. This is assured because of a very rigorous grant review process carried out by individuals from the medical and scientific communities across Canada. This peer review process helps ensure that we are making the best possible use of research dollars by investing in the most promising epilepsy research.
Supporting Fundraising.
It all begins with an idea. There’s no right or wrong way to fundraise. All it takes is a fun idea that can help raise awareness for epilepsy and encourage donations. Whatever it is, you can make all the difference. Help us find a cure.
“Your donation dollars make a dramatic difference for a better life for those living with epilepsy and I am living proof. More importantly, your donations will help us find a cure.”
— Gary Collins, President Epilepsy Canada
