Kessler Foundation

Kessler Foundation is a public charity dedicated to improving the lives of people with physical disabilities caused by stroke, multiple sclerosis, injuries to the brain and spinal cord, and other chronic conditions.

The Foundation's approach is two-fold—supporting rehabilitation research through Kessler Foundation Research Center and promoting employment opportunities for people with disabilities through Kessler Foundation Program Center. Through its Research Center, the Foundation achieves steady scientific gains in ways to improve physical and cognitive rehabilitation. Through its Program Center, the Foundation provides grant funding that ensures vocational training and placement opportunities for people with disabilities in our communities. Kessler Foundation's ThinkFirst Prevention Program, an educational outreach program, sends school-age children a clear message--avoiding risky behavior can reduce the risk of disabling injuries for themselves and others.
