ALS United Rocky Mountain

ALS United Rocky Mountain is an independent, locally led nonprofit dedicated to serving individuals and families living with ALS across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. Founded in 1996, we have always believed that people facing ALS deserve support that is close to home, personal, and grounded in community. That’s why our organization places care coordinators directly in the regions we serve—ensuring families receive expert guidance, resources, and connection from someone who understands their local landscape.

In 2023, we reaffirmed our commitment to local care by separating from the national ALS Association and continuing as an autonomous organization. This independence allows us to invest donor funds where they matter most—supporting families right here in the Rocky Mountain region with high-impact services and programs that reflect their unique needs.

Today, ALS United Rocky Mountain:

• Provides comprehensive care management for more than 640 families each year
• Partners with leading ALS clinics to expand access to multidisciplinary care and clinical trials
• Offers financial assistance for medical equipment, communication tools, transportation, and respite care
• Funds high-impact ALS research that advances treatments, explores causes of the disease, and accelerates the path toward a cure
• Advocates for policies that improve quality of life for people living with ALS
• Builds awareness and community through events, education, and peer support
• Honors and supports families throughout the ALS journey—including after loss

We are—and have always been—your local ALS family of support. Our mission is driven by the belief that no one should face ALS alone, and we are here to walk beside families every step of the way.
