Start a Parkinson’s Exercise or Wellness Class in Your Community — We’ll Help You Get There
APDA Wisconsin offers Community Grants to help qualified professionals bring new Parkinson’s-specific exercise and wellness programs to life. These grants are designed to remove financial barriers to launching classes that promote strength, mobility, balance, and overall well-being for people living with PD—helping them live more active, confident lives while expanding access to these critical services throughout Wisconsin.
Please note that any wellness or exercise program must have at least one certified fitness instructor, physical therapist, yoga, or other accredited fitness professional present at every meeting to be considered for funding. All instructors involved must also complete the online APDA training for Fitness, Health, and Wellness Professionals.
Past grant program recipients include:
- Art & Music Therapy
- Aquatics Classes
- Communication & Swallowing Wellness Group
- CyclePD
- Dance for Healthy Aging with Parkinson’s Disease
- Neuro-Power Programming
- Rock Steady Boxing
- Yoga Classes
