CNF is passionate about collaboration and moving the entire community forward to achieve our goals. To that end, below is a compiled list of opportunities for organizations to partner with CNF. As a potential partner of CNF, we encourage you to read through our organizational background listed below. We believe that everything we do should be rooted in our values and want to ensure that our partner organizations adhere to a similar set of values.
As a note to our advocacy organization partners, CNF is not a typical foundation. While we do have some funding allocated for research, our focus is on sustaining collaborative programs that promote various areas of wellbeing for patients and families dealing with neurologic conditions. Generally, our partnerships with advocacy organizations are not financial in nature but we have a variety of opportunities for organizations to partner with CNF to build up a shared mission of serving the pediatric neurology community.
If you are specifically looking for a financial partnership with CNF please visit this webpage to see if your goal matches with any of CNF’s grants or scholarships.

How to Engage
Story Telling
CNF believes that a powerful way to raise awareness and connect communities together is through story telling. If you have a story to tell about your community’s experiences with a neurological condition, we would love to hear it and discuss how we can weave our stories together to build up the community and raise awareness.
- Ideas for sharing stories could include social media posts, blog posts, and videos. We would love to hear from you via our request form what your story is and how you would be comfortable sharing it. Send us an email to let us know what you are interested in sharing.
Information Sharing and Awareness Building
Share your efforts, announcements, or updates via CNF promotional platforms to over 62,000 members of our outreach network for FREE (social media, e-newsletter, website).
