Corporate Giving

Build your brand reputation and boost visibility through a wide array of sponsorship opportunities. Visit our Sponsorships Menu to explore offerings for corporate sponsors, in-kind support, national and regional events and experiences, and much more. 

Highlight your company’s values and support your local community. By giving individual employees an easy way to champion MJFF’s mission, your company can generate awareness and goodwill around your philanthropic efforts. Workplace giving programs enable employees to make tax-deductible donations to nonprofit organizations. Additionally, your company can host organized campaigns or other coordinated giving activities throughout the year or through payroll deductions.  

The Foundation also participates in the Combined Federal Campaign (CFC), empowering federal employees to support charities of their choice. If you're a federal government or military employee and you'd like to give to MJFF through the CFC, please enter CFC code #12227 on your pledge card during the next campaign.  

If you would like to launch or feature MJFF as a charity in your corporate giving campaign, contact corporatepartnerships@michaeljfox.org. We can provide customized content and resources to make the effort a success. 

Each year, MJFF supports thousands of individuals in transforming their passions into unique fundraising events and campaigns to raise funds for PD research. This global, grassroots community — known as Team Fox — features do-it-yourself fundraisers of all sizes, including golf outings, galas, comedy nights and unique athletic feats. With diverse offerings across event type, size, location and audience, our Team Fox program can work with you to identify events that best fit your company’s unique goals. Team Fox events also provide ample opportunities for in-person interaction with Parkinson’s patients, care partners and community members as well as event donors.  

There are three ways to get involved: 

• Host a signature event of your own, fundraise, and request a corporate match 

• Sponsor one of our national Signature DIY Series events: Outplay PD (gaming/streaming), Targeting a Cure for Parkinson’s (top golf), Row to Slow Parkinson’s (row challenge) 

• Browse existing community-led events that may be open for sponsorship 

Each year, The Michael J. Fox Foundation hosts the annual MVP Awards and Celebration to celebrate and recognize our top community fundraisers and their supporters. Have your company represented by sharing opportunities for your employees who are avid event planners, advocates and connectors to get involved and engage major markets around the country. 

Note: Team Fox events are organized by third-party members, so opportunities will vary. 

Every individual and family impacted by Parkinson’s needs trusted sources of information to help them navigate their journey with the disease. By speaking directly to your clients, customers, and community, MJFF is changing the dialogue around symptoms, therapeutic options, lifestyle resources and the value of research participation. To help combat information fatigue, our resources are curated to meet patients and families where they are on that journey so that the information is seen, heard and retained. 

MJFF’s evergreen educational resources are composed of:  

• Third Thursdays Webinar series (averaging 49,000 views each year) 

• “Ask the MD” video and blog series (averaging 165,000 video views each year) 

• “Parkinson’s Podcast” (averaging 132,000 downloads each year) 

We can provide these educational tools and resources for your organization focused on (but not limited to) the following themes: 1) symptom spotlights and the value of research participation; 2) genetics, sleep behaviors and other risk factors for PD; and 3) brain health and healthy aging.  

To create a customized in-person or virtual presentation for your audience, contact us at corporatepartnerships@michaeljfox.org. 

Corporate matching programs work in tandem with employee giving to amplify the impact employees can make on causes that matter to them. In addition to helping companies meet their corporate social responsibility goals, matching programs may incentivize more employees to give and increase overall employee engagement. MJFF has been designated as a 501(c)(3), an eligible nonprofit organization to receive matched tax-deductible contributions.
