Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota

You can make a difference this year in the lives of thousands of children and adults in our communities. Epilepsy affects more than 60,000 people in Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota, close to 3 million Americans across the United States, and remains one of the most misunderstood diseases in our time. One in ten Americans will have a seizure in their lifetime. And you no doubt know someone with epilepsy.

Why support the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota? We impact the lives of thousands of men, women, and children across Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. The Foundation’s mission is to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences; and we work to prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research.

We work closely with the national Epilepsy Foundation and every major comprehensive epilepsy center in Minnesota including The Mayo Clinic, Minnesota Epilepsy Group, University of Minnesota Medical Center, MINCEP Epilepsy Care, and Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare.

And…. the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota does not duplicate services – it is unique, the only organization of its kind in Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota. The Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota is an efficient, effective, financially sound nonprofit organization.

In 2009, the national Epilepsy Foundation recognized the Foundation as the first and one of only two affiliates to achieve its “Standards of Excellence”, recognizing the Foundation as a model affiliate for the quality of its programming, fiscal responsibility and fundraising efforts.

Please support the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota and help the thousands of children and adults in our communities who are affected by seizures and live with epilepsy every day!
