Overview

Mission

To support people living with parkinson's disease (pd), their care partners and their families

What it reported doing in 2025

Adpf deepened awareness of parkinson's disease in africa through its lagos-based holistic rehabilitation center, launched in partnership with local and international organizations. What began in 2023 with 2 patients has grown to serve over 110 individuals living with parkinson's at no cost to patients or families. The center provides physical therapy, dance, rocksteady boxing, walking football, handwriting and speech therapy, occupational therapy, recreational activities, caregiver training, monthly support groups, and essential medications for low-income patients. Beyond clinical support, adpf advanced public education on parkinson's through media outreach and the release of its widely viewed 2024 documentary, beyond the tremors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 96% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - Most voting board members are independent and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
