The Epilepsy Foundation of Northern California (EFNC) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by epilepsy by helping them overcome day-to-day challenges, providing community support, and raising awareness through education to reduce stigma surrounding those with epilepsy.
EFNC offers support groups, summer camps for both youth and families, therapeutic art, mentorship, scholarships, seizure first aid trainings, educational events, and many more. The foundation also works with state and national representatives on legislation and advocacy. We also organize awareness and fundraising events for our cause for epilepsy, such as our Walk 4 Epilepsy SF, Seize the Moment Run, Zoo Stroll for Epilepsy, and Gala.
We serve the over 180,000 Northern Californians living with epilepsy in 44 counties from the Oregon border down to Fresno County.
