Indeed, if you look up other Parkinson's nonprofits in Charity Navigator, you won't find one that spends more of its money on direct services (Program Expenses), or one with a lower percentage of administrative expenses.

For instance, the Parkinson's Disease Foundation's and Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation's admin expenses are 6.1%, National Parkinson Foundation's (FL) are 6.2%, Parkinson's Action Network's are 11.5%. Compare these numbers to MJFF's admin expenses of only 2.2%.

That is a sign of a well-run, lean organization.
