Program
The parkinson's association of southwest florida (paswfl/the association) provides free programs and services which help residents of collier and lee counties, fl with parkinson's (pd) and related neurodegenerative diseases to live well. Our offerings include a variety of evidenced-based activities, proven to help improve the quality of life, as well as educate, enrich, and empower those touched by pd and their care partners. Florida, particularly our area in southwest florida, has a high prevalence of pd due -in part- to the mean age of the population. National organizations - no relation to our association - show florida as #2 in the united states based upon population prevalence, or 79,990 people with pd. Research shows these two counties to be home to between 7,000 and 10,000 diagnosed with pd. We offer more than 130 free programs monthly, primarily gentle movement including seated yoga and tai chi (8-10 weekly), advanced exercise (11-13 weekly), speech exercise (6 weekly), need-specific support groups (7 weekly), educational/information talks (avg 3 monthly), powerful tools for caregivers. Programs are offered in-person and virtually. All gatherings (including virtual) are…

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $676k to $1.0M (+50%).
How it's funded, over time

From the IRS filings of PARKINSON ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

PARKINSON ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
77% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund PARKINSON ASSOCIATION OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 92% · 2018 59% · 2019 36% · 2020 27% · 2021 42% · 2022 30% · 2023 55% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $213k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
