Ideal Applicant
An academic speech-science department, university clinic, or certified training program that delivers speech therapy or SLP training for people with Parkinson’s disease.
Good Fit
- • A university department or clinic focused on speech science or dysphagia related to Parkinson’s.
- • Projects that fund training, certification, or capacity-building for speech-language pathologists.
- • Request sizes in the four- to five-figure range (roughly $10k–$33k) and clear program budgets.
- • Evidence of measurable training outcomes or ability to scale SPEAK OUT! style programming.
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year reached recipients in 24 different states and the foundation reported no in-state share, indicating a broadly national footprint rather than a local or regional focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 24 distinct recipients (mostly university departments and clinics), with a history of 16→22→24 recipients over three years, indicating a substantial and growing set of independent grantees rather than a tiny closed circle.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of turnover exists—new grantees appeared in 2023 (7) and 2024 (3)—and the funder lists website contact points, but no formal application process is published; this makes entry plausible for well-aligned applicants but not guaranteed.
