About EPILEPSY FOUNDATION OF MINNESOTA, INC.

Founded in 1954, the Epilepsy Foundation of Minnesota (EFMN) is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that serves people with seizures across Minnesota and eastern North Dakota. The organization provides one-on-one support, statewide public education and seizure first-aid trainings, youth programs, camps, peer connection groups, and advocacy to improve access to care. EFMN operates a statewide donated-goods social enterprise that funds programs, runs regional United in Epilepsy walks, and leads state-level advocacy on epilepsy policy and access to seizure-detection technology. In recent years EFMN has been active in legislative advocacy, program expansion, and leadership transitions while maintaining publicly available audited financial filings and annual Form 990 disclosures.
