Mission Statement
The Alberta Paraplegic Foundation is committed to benefiting the lives of Albertans who are disabled, principally from spinal cord injury.
Empowering Possibility Through Research
Established in 1987, The APF started by funding medical research related to spinal cord injury and the development of rehabilitation, wheelchair sports and awareness programs. With support from the Alberta Government and our community, The APF has grown a fund that has contributed over $18 million to impactful projects across the province.
The APF grants support initiatives that drive scientific discovery, advance rehabilitation practices, and promote inclusive community development with a strong focus on innovative, collaborative solutions and research programs that push the envelop in terms of understanding how the spinal cord operates.
