Mission and Purpose of the Brianna Fund
The Brianna Fund was founded in October 1998 to assist children with physical disabilities by eliminating barriers of access to community resources. By providing necessary resources to solve pressing mobility issues, children with physical disabilities can enhance their capacity for living a full and productive life, and are able to participate in all aspects of community life.

The Brianna Fund is made up of a dedicated group of people who, in cooperation with others, want to create genuine opportunities for children with physical disabilities. We are committed to assuring that there are resources for children to grow up with physical, emotional, and social independence.
The families of children from birth to 22 years of age that have a physical disability, which specifically relates to mobility and access are eligible to receive funding assistance. The Brianna Fund is operated under the auspices of the Partners for a Healthier Community. This group will assist the Brianna Fund in administering funds to children and their families in the Greater Springfield area.
