The Davis Phinney foundation's mission is to help people live well with parkinson's. While IT is critical to find a cure for parkinson's, we feel strongly that people living with parkinson's also need information and tools to live well today. The Foundation was founded in 2004 by olympic cyclist Davis Phinney, who was diagnosed with parkinson's in 2000, at the age of 40. Today, Davis is both a role model in the cycling community and an inspiration to the estimated 1 million americans living with parkinson's. We are committed to supporting programs and research that deliver inspiration, information and tools that will enable people living with parkinson's to take more control in managing their parkinson's. The Foundation provides essential information, practical tools and inspiration to people living with parkinson's and funds research closely aligned with our mission - improving the lives of people living with parkinson's.

The names, titles, and compensation shown on this page are reproduced from IRS Form 990 filings, which are public records.

Philanthropy.org does not alter the content of those filings. All information appears exactly as reported by the filing organization for the tax year shown.

We publish only information contained in the public IRS filing — and less than the filing contains. Our profile pages do not display street addresses, telephone numbers, personal email addresses, or other personal contact information, even where the filing includes them.

Many people share the same name. A name shown on this page reflects only what one organization reported in one IRS filing for one tax year. It should not be interpreted as identifying any other individual with the same or a similar name.

If you are no longer affiliated with the organization, your name will generally stop appearing in future IRS filings once the organization no longer reports you. Pages for tax years in which you were reported remain published because those filings remain part of the public record.

Philanthropy.org does not alter or remove IRS filing records. Removing a page from this website would not remove the underlying IRS filing, which remains publicly available from the IRS and other publishers of the same information.

If you believe the IRS filing itself is inaccurate, corrections must be made by the filing organization or the IRS directly.
