From October 19 through December 31, an anonymous donor will match every first gift from new donors to The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), dollar-for-dollar, up to $10 million.

If you're new to MJFF, a gift of any size can help move Parkinson's research forward, and go twice as far. Whether you give $25, $100, $1,000 or another amount, your first gift will be matched, helping turn $10 million in gifts into $20 million for research.

Parkinson's research is at an inflection point. Scientists have better tools to understand Parkinson's biology and develop potential treatments, creating more opportunities to pursue new options for people living with the disease today and bring us closer to a cure. Now is our time to build on this progress. Make your first gift today.

Help Build on This Moment

Your support helps MJFF find the research with the best odds and then go all in. MJFF does not hold an endowment or excess reserves. Every dollar we receive is put to work quickly to help researchers around the world pursue the next advancement.

This match is an invitation to take part in All Grit. No Quit., the Campaign for The Michael J. Fox Foundation. By 2028, the Campaign aims to raise $2.5 billion to accelerate the most promising Parkinson's research toward better treatments and a cure.

Many Paths Bring People to This Work

Everyone's reason for supporting MJFF is personal and different. Whatever your connection to our mission is, your first gift is a meaningful act: transforming belief into action and uniting you with a community committed to better treatments and a cure.

In 2025, more than 144,000 people gave to MJFF. Nearly half of these individuals gave for the first time. Together, new and longtime supporters make it possible to pursue the research questions that matter most to people living with Parkinson's.

If you have been considering your first gift to MJFF, now is your time to join in. Make your gift by December 31, and it will be matched, dollar for dollar. Double Your Impact.
