Overview
Mission
Our mission is to come alongside those with parkinson's and their families and provide valuable programs and services to improve their lives physically, mentally and spiritually. We accomplish our mission through our three pillars of education, encouragement and exercise.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our climb exercise program is a comprehensive and evidence based exercise program developed specifically for parkinson's. We offer the climb in multiple locations around the state. We also provide support groups for those living with parkinson's as well as their care partners. These groups fuel hope and resilience, reminding those with parkinson's they are not alone - and that every step forward is a victory worth celebrating our educational component is vital to living a better journey with parkinson's. Through our educational events and resources we ensure that those we serve understand parkinson's disease, how to manage the disease and the resources available to help them navigate this diagnosis. Although each of our pillars have a specific focus, they all have one common thread, and that is that they are bringing people together in an otherwise isolating diagnosis.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 69% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
