ABOUT TRIUMPH FOUNDATION
Triumph Foundation's mission is to help children, adults, and Veterans with Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder (SCI) to triumph over obstacles they face and to inspire them to keep moving forward with their lives by pushing themselves to get better every day.
Triumph Foundation provides resources, hope and security to people living with paralysis – not just initially when the injury occurs, but as a lifelong support network. We are the go-to organization for people living with mobility impairments in Southern California.
TRIUMPH'S CIRCLE OF CARE
Our range of programs make up what we call the “Circle of Care,” a cycle of services that bridges the gaps that exists within in the SCI community. This holistic cycle provides crucial, quality-of-life services that helps people “come full circle” from injury and recovery, through stability to significance. We have become a force in the community that is a critical resource to people living with paralysis.
WHO WE HELP
Triumph's programs are primarily focused on people who have Spinal Cord Injury/Disorder (SCI/D) causing paralysis. However, many of our programs are open to any person dealing with disability including family members. Our outreach supports children, adults, and Veterans; and people of all backgrounds. The majority of our outreach is in Southern California, but we also provide resources and assistance to people across the United States.
To date, the organization has touched the lives of over 8,000 individuals with disabilities; given over $1,000,000 in assistance to people with inadequate medical insurance and financial hardship; performed dozens of accessible home remodels; provided wheelchair accessible vehicles to 20 individuals who did not have the means to purchase one on their own; handed out over 2,000 Care Packs full of resources to those newly injured; holds 20+ adaptive recreation events annually; and regularly visited 24 area hospitals and rehabilitation centers throughout the Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bernardino, Riverside, Kern, and San Diego counties.
Triumph has two full-time and six part-time staff members, 80 professionally trained Ambassadors who implement programs, and volunteer base of over 300. Triumph’s Board of Directors includes distinguished community leaders, including medical, legal, corporate, and other professionals.
Triumph is a recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization Tax ID #26-3295161, and a chapter of United Spinal Association, Move United, and the Los Angeles Paralympic Sport Club. Triumph is headquartered in a 2,000 sq ft warehouse in Santa Clarita, California.
