OUR STORY

The Michael Parks Foundation (MPF) was founded in 2015, subsequent to several attempts by Celeste & Malcolm Parks, to find a suitable place of safety for their 3-year-old son with Down syndrome. The Foundation registered as an NPO in September 2016 and are now the proud owners of NPO number 177-246.

Receiving our NPO number was a proud moment for us, as we saw it as an important step in achieving our vision of a professional response to the plight of families living with Down Syndrome.
