We are a non-profit organization with a legal 501(c)3 certification from the IRS including an official Federal Tax ID number: 93-4295280. One of our objectives is to raise funds for Parkinson's research and support our needs to host events and meetings. We could possibly even directly help someone related to Parkinson's (PD patient, caregiver, etc.) who is in need as voted on by our leadership team. Our only source of income is to charge dues on an annual basis in the amount of $25. Our fiscal year coincides with the calendar year. Therefore, annual dues will be requested on January 1st of each year. If someone joins in the middle of the year, dues will not be prorated.

​

Current annual dues are $25 per member.

Caregivers are free to attend with the member who has Parkinson's. We respect an appreciate our caregivers. This is one way of showing it. Caregivers are encouraged to actively participate in every meeting. Most likely once a year, we will dedicate one of our sharing sessions to caregiving. Such a meeting often involves two simultaneous breakout sessions, and sometimes we may bring both groups together at the end to debrief, which has proven to be extraordinarily productive.
