Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Epilepsy Foundation: National nonprofit providing epilepsy education, advocacy, research funding, and direct services across the U.S. As the largest epilepsy-focused nonprofit, it offers overlapping capabilities to EABB across education, advocacy, and case management but at a national rather than regional scale.

Direct peers

• Epilepsy Foundation of Florida: Florida-based affiliate of the national Epilepsy Foundation delivering epilepsy education, case management, and support services statewide. Most relevant peer to EABB given overlapping Florida geography, state-funded service contracts, and nearly identical mission.
• Danny Did Foundation: Nonprofit focused on epilepsy awareness, seizure first aid education, and Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) prevention. Comparable to EABB's awareness, first aid training, and caregiver/patient education programming.
• CURE Epilepsy: Patient-founded nonprofit funding epilepsy research and advocacy for cures and improved therapies. Comparable mission alignment around epilepsy-specific outcomes and donor-driven funding model, though CURE is research-focused rather than direct-service.
• Charlie Foundation for Ketogenic Therapies: Nonprofit advancing epilepsy treatment and dietary therapies such as the ketogenic diet. Comparable as an epilepsy-specialty nonprofit delivering education and patient/caregiver support, though narrower in therapeutic focus.

Emerging players

• HOBSCOTCH Institute (Dartmouth-Hitchcock): Developer and licensor of the HOBSCOTCH self-management and cognitive training program that EABB delivers. Directly comparable because EABB is a community-based delivery partner for HOBSCOTCH, and the Institute sets the evidence-based standard EABB's program follows.

Others

• American Epilepsy Society: Professional society advancing epilepsy research, education, and clinical care for clinicians and researchers. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but EABB engages with the same epilepsy stakeholder ecosystem and benefits from society-driven clinical guidelines.
• National Association of Epilepsy Centers: Accrediting and advocacy body for specialized epilepsy care centers, with a Florida directory that EABB links to on its resources page. Indirectly comparable as part of the referral ecosystem EABB channels clients into for diagnostics and treatment.
