2015 Financial Highlights

At The Michael J. Fox Foundation, we take our responsibility to our donors seriously, and we are grateful that you choose to support our mission to speed a cure for Parkinson’ s.

SINCE WE OPENED OUR DOORS in 2000, accountability, transparency and efficiency have been core values of our Foundation. We seek to maximize the generosity of our supporters and to accelerate high-impact science: 89 cents of every dollar we spend goes directly to research programs.
Though we have funded more than $ 600 million in research to date, we don’ t measure success in dollars spent. We continue to push forward toward the day when we reach our ultimate goal of a cure, and we close our doors.
We can’ t do it alone, and we thank you for every gift to help drive medical solutions to benefit patients and families. The 2015 financial highlights follow.
With this year’ s annual report, we are moving to a digital version as part of our commitment to putting as many dollars toward research as possible. The online report, full audited financials and our most recent IRS Form 990s are available at michaeljfox. org / annualreport.
