What Triumph Foundation does

Triumph Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2008 and headquartered in Valencia, California, that supports people with spinal cord injury/disorder (SCI/D) across Southern California. Its mission is to help children, adults, and veterans with SCI 'triumph over obstacles' through a holistic 'Circle of Care' model that spans five integrated program areas: newly injured support (care pack outreach and peer mentorship), grants and equipment (Keep Moving Forward Grants and an Equipment & Supply Exchange), adaptive recreation (handcycling, wheelchair sports, and the Los Angeles Paralympic Club), employment assistance (vocational counseling and the Employment Achievement Award of up to $5,000), and an inclusive community of peer support groups. The organization serves as the Golden State Chapter of United Spinal Association and maintains a network of 80+ trained Ambassador peer mentors who deliver services in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, and community settings across Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino, and San Diego counties.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology products; its technology footprint consists of a website, email newsletter, Zoom, and standard learning management tools used to coordinate program delivery and community engagement. Its distribution is direct and community-based: services are delivered free of charge to beneficiaries through hospital partnerships (Northridge Hospital, Casa Colina, California Rehab Institute), support group meetings, adaptive recreation events, and an online resource hub. Marketing and acquisition occur primarily through community-led channels — word-of-mouth, hospital referrals, social media, and large-scale events such as the Wheelchair Sports Festival (1,200+ participants annually).

Triumph Foundation is funded entirely through donations, corporate sponsorships, and foundation grants, and it does not charge for any of its services. Sponsorship and grant support come from a mix of medical device and continence care companies (Convatec, Coloplast, HR Healthcare), mobility solutions providers (BraunAbility/United Access, Mobility Professionals), and healthcare institutions. The organization is governed by a board of directors, operated by staff, and supported by an extensive volunteer and Ambassador network. To date, it has served over 3,000 individuals directly, facilitated more than 10,000 adaptive sports engagements, distributed over $2M in mobility and accessibility grants, and engaged 15,000+ community members.
