Overview

Mission

To meet the physical, mental, emotional and social needs of those living with Parkinsons disease and all movement disorders through education, empowerment, support and community resources.

What it reported doing in 2025

Parkinson Place offers support groups in person and online. Circle of Support for men & women with movement disorders encourages open discussions to address questions and concerns at every phase of a movement disorder. Members gain valuable coping skills, strategies, and insights on effectively navigating daily life. Caregivers Only Club provides caregivers support, coping skills, and survival strategies. Caregivers can ask questions and talk about feelings in a private, informal, and nurturing setting. Empowered Living allows those living alone to engage with peers to address challenges aimed at fostering independence and well-being. Peer Enrichment Group provides an opportunity for men to engage in discussion about daily life experiences within the real world.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
