Your Support Makes All the Difference
When you give to the Parkinson’s Foundation, you ensure that our mission is carried out in the following key areas:
Advance Research
Your support of our research programs has led to breakthroughs that bring hope to the entire Parkinson’s community.
Progress towards new medicines, better therapies, and ultimately a cure relies almost exclusively on innovative, high-quality research. From frontline doctors and geneticists to scientists conducting clinical trials and academics testing theories in the lab, a broad continuum of investigation and inquiry is crucial to advancing the science of Parkinson’s. If we hope to improve the lives of those living with Parkinson’s today, as well as the future for those not yet diagnosed, we must intensify our research efforts.
Your investment in the Parkinson’s Foundation is changing the course of the disease for people across the country and inspiring scientists of all backgrounds to pursue a cure for the disease.
Hear from Parkinson’s Foundation Chief Scientific Officer, Jim Beck, PhD, as he walks us through how the donations we receive translate into cutting edge research initiatives that could one day lead to a cure.
Educate & Empower
Your support provides life-changing resources to people with PD and their care partners at no cost.
The health and quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s depend on access to educational, wellness, and support programs. Through donor-funded community education programs and local community grant programs, the Parkinson’s Foundation helps provide resources directly to people living with the disease and their families. To reach people with Parkinson’s across the US, the delivery of these community-based resources is imperative.
The Parkinson’s Foundation is here for people living with Parkinson’s at every stage of their journey. We offer community, resources and guidance – like the inspiring advice shared in this video.
Improve Outcomes Through Care
Living well with Parkinson’s disease means having access to the right health care professionals, medications, and services. No one with Parkinson’s should go without the care they need because of distance or other obstacles. Currently, comprehensive Parkinson’s resources in the United States are not easily accessible outside of the Parkinson’s Foundation Centers of Excellence network. With your support, we aspire to provide better, more attainable care to the one million Americans living with Parkinson’s.
