How Do We Maximize Our Impact?

KiMe has awarded 11 research grants totaling $429,932. In addition, we’ve been the catalyst for $325,000 of matching funds that brings our total for research fund to $754,932.

Why Donate to KiMe?

With more than $400,000 raised for Parkinson’s research, KiMe has been able to provide opportunities for numerous ideas to get tested. We’re here so future generations have a chance to live in a world without Parkinson’s. And a little goes a long way!

“In the Parkinson’s research world, KiMe is seen as an ‘angel investor’ for important research. We help the studies of researchers to get the attention of larger firms and research grants.” – Steve Hodges, KiMe Founder

No contribution to KiMe is too small because much of the research we fund does not require massive amounts of investment to get traction. Even with a grant of $25,000.00, a promising study can be funded and important testing and results can be carried forward.
