Epilepsy Foundation Texas Community Development VISTA-Dallas
 
 
 
The Epilepsy Foundation Texas leads the fight to overcome the challenges of living with epilepsy and to accelerate therapies to stop seizures, find cures and save lives. Established in 1983, the Epilepsy Foundation Texas-Houston/Dallas-Fort Worth/West Texas provides a number of programs and services, including: public and professional education and awareness programs, camp and recreation programs for people with epilepsy and their families and specialized medical care throughout the state. As the largest non-government support of epilepsy research, the Epilepsy Foundation is leading the fight to stop seizures, find a cure and overcome the challenges created by epilepsy. We fund research that is focused on a cure for epilepsy and aimed at eliminating seizures, side-effects and other consequences of epilepsy. The Community Development VISTA will build capacity for Epilepsy Foundation Texas by increasing local support for the services provided to individuals with epilepsy for 5 major fundraising events by establishing new community partnerships, increasing business participation and researching and writing local grant and community funding applications.
