The Epilepsy Foundation is a national, charitable organization, founded in 1968 as the Epilepsy Foundation of America. The only such organization wholly dedicated to the welfare of people with epilepsy, our mission is simple: to work for children and adults affected by seizures through research, education, advocacy and service.

Our national office is in Landover, MD, a suburb of Washington, D.C. More than 60 affiliated Epilepsy Foundations serve people with seizures, and their families, in hundreds of communities nationwide. Our work is governed by a volunteer board of directors; the scientific and medical programs are overseen by a distinguished board of physicians and scientists.

Advocacy
Despite changes in public attitudes and federal laws, people with epilepsy continue to face discrimination in all aspects of life and are unable to gain full access to the healthcare they need. The Epilepsy Foundation wants to work with you to advocate for changes in Congress and in the courts.

Speak Up, Speak Out!
Become an Advocate and visit our Action Center to "speak up, speak out" on issues of importance to people with epilepsy. This is how you can make a real difference. By contacting your lawmakers, you will strengthen our collective voice to help all those with epilepsy.
