Momentum

Celebrating Our History: In just one example of our history of community champions who have propelled our mission, Leonard Goldenson created the UCP Telethon to fill the gaps in resources for those impacted by disability. While we don't have a telethon today, we still have wonderful donors who continue to be our champions and support our broad array of programs and services in thoughtful and transformative ways. For 80 years, Momentum has continued to champion inclusion, independence, and opportunity for all. Join us in making an impact for another 80 years!

Our story began in 1945 when a small group of families knew they could do more to create a lifeline of services in the community for their children when services like that did not exist. 80 years later, Momentum continues to provide a lifespan of services, advancing inclusion, independence, and opportunity for all. Together, we’re building a future where we encourage individuals and families to dream. Join us in making an impact for another 80 years!
