Introduction

Our programs and services are made possible through the generosity and commitment of people like you. Consider leaving a legacy of support by making a planned gift to the Alzheimer's Association that allows you to combine your charitable giving goals with your estate and financial planning goals.

The Alzheimer's Association offers you a variety of planned giving arrangements, including charitable gift annuities, trusts and bequests. Contact our Planned Gifts staff to discuss your options — see Planned Gifts contact list.

The Founders Society

The Founders Society is an honorary society created by the Alzheimer's Association as a way of bringing those who make a bequest or lifetime gift into our extended family. As a Founders Society member, you become eligible to receive the following:

• Special mailings about the Association and the disease, including updates and research advances in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
  

• Notices of meetings and other Alzheimer's Association events.
  

• When substantial estate planning and tax issues arise, we will provide you with information about those changes and how they affect you.

By informing us of your plan, you will automatically be enrolled in this prestigious society. Contact our Planned Gifts staff.
