Michael J. Fox Foundation Launches $2.5 Billion Fundraising Campaign to Accelerate Parkinson’s Research
The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research (MJFF) has announced a new multi-year fundraising campaign, 'All Grit. No Quit.', with the goal of raising $2.5 billion to accelerate breakthroughs in Parkinson's disease research and treatment. This marks MJFF’s first-ever multi-year campaign and comes at a time of significant scientific progress for the field. Since its quiet launch in 2024, more than $1.75 billion has already been raised from over 276,000 donors worldwide. The Foundation aims to leverage this momentum to fund next-generation treatments and ultimately find a cure. Parkinson’s disease is rapidly growing as the second-most common neurodegenerative disorder globally, with no known way to slow or stop its progression. MJFF has already contributed significantly by funding over $3 billion in Parkinson's research since 2000, including supporting new drug approvals and legislative efforts like the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act passed in July 2024.
