Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinsons Research

The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) exists for one reason: to accelerate the next generation of Parkinson’s disease (PD) treatments. In practice, that means identifying and funding projects most vital to patients; spearheading solutions around seemingly intractable field-wide challenges; coordinating and streamlining the efforts of multiple, often disparate, teams; and doing whatever it takes to drive faster knowledge turns for the benefit of every life touched by PD.

We work to steward donations wisely and keep a tight rein on expenses. We are proud of our track record of efficiency, with 89 cents of every dollar spent since inception going straight to our programs.

We operate with focus and determination in everything we do. We won't stop until a cure is found. We're on it.

We take pride in the accomplishments we've made so far. But ultimately we have only one definition of success: scientific solutions that produce tangible improvements in patients' lives.
