As the world’s largest private funder of Parkinson’s
research, The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to
accelerating a cure for Parkinson’s disease and improved
therapies for those living with the condition today. The
Foundation pursues its goals through an aggressively
funded, highly targeted research program coupled with
active global engagement of scientists, Parkinson’s
patients, business leaders, clinical trial participants,
donors and volunteers. In addition to funding more than
$300 million in research to date, the Foundation has
fundamentally altered the trajectory of progress toward a cure. Operating at the hub of worldwide Parkinson’s
research, the Foundation forges groundbreaking
collaborations with industry leaders, academic scientists
and government research funders; increases the flow of
participants into Parkinson’s disease clinical trials with
its online tool, Fox Trial Finder; promotes Parkinson’s
awareness through high-profile advocacy, events and
outreach; and coordinates the grassroots involvement
of thousands of Team Fox members around the world.
