The Epilepsy Foundation of Delaware  is a statewide, non-profit organization dedicated to ensure that people with seizures are able to participate in all life experiences and endeavors to prevent, control and cure epilepsy through services, education, advocacy and research through activities of volunteers and professional staff. Its mission is to educate and support individuals with epilepsy and their families, to increase awareness in the general community through education, to provide leadership and advocacy for epilepsy issues and to facilitate prevention and management of epilepsy. Epilepsy affects approximately 10,000 Delawareans.

We are able to provide these services through the generous support of Grant-in-Aid, various corporations, businesses, foundations and interested individuals.

An Advocacy Issue

The Epilepsy Foundation is gearing up for the next political year and we want to be able to demonstrate our support so we are heard. Epilepsy is such an unknown disorder we are perceived as being a small group of people, despite the fact that 1 in 100 people have epilepsy. In this difficult economic environment our elected officials need to know we are a substantial group if we want support for our cause to continue. Our goal is to gather One Million signatures before the year ends. Please sign on now. Continued Federal Funds for Research depends on it. To sign the petition click on this link.
