Who are we?
United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of MetroBoston has been a leader in disability services since 1950. Founded by parents advocating for their children with cerebral palsy, our Watertown-based agency has grown to serve over 1,000 individuals annually throughout the Metro-Boston area- most of whom live with a range of disabilities including spinal cord injuries, brain injuries, and age-related conditions.
For more than 70 years, UCP has provided high-quality residential, day, and community-based programs that empower people with disabilities to live independently and fully. From skill-building and personal care to accessible housing, technology access, and creative enrichment, we help individuals live without limits.
Our partnerships with key state agencies including the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission, Department of Developmental Services, and MassHealth allow us to deliver innovative, person-centered supports.
Recognized by The Chronicle of Philanthropy as one of the nation’s most efficient health charities, UCP consistently invests the majority of funding directly into programs and services. With 55 affiliates throughout the United States and Canada, we are committed to using every donation wisely to advance our mission, with a system-wide average of 85 percent of all revenues going to programs.
The future of United Cerebral Palsy of MetroBoston relies on its ability to be a constant force within the community, making one miracle at a time happen for people with disabilities.
