We are gratified to report that with your support, substantial progress is being made in our long-standing battle to defeat Alzheimer’s disease. To learn more about how our Association is fighting on your behalf to give everyone a reason to hope, review the St. Louis chapter's Annual Report. Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Seal
For the fifth consecutive year, the St. Louis Chapter has been honored with the Better Business Bureau wise giving seal. The Chapter is one of 160 St. Louis non-profit organizations to earn this prestigious award. The award allows organizations to display a BBB Wise Giving Alliance seal on their website and other printed material. With thousands of non-profit organizations competing for donations, it is an easy way for potential donors to identify charities that have undergone rigorous evaluation. A 2001 Alliance survey found that nearly 70% of Americans find it very difficult to determine if a charitable organization asking for donations is legitimate. The Wise Giving Seal gives organizations a way to prove they are ethical and credible. Organizations that are granted this seal are evaluated on a yearly basis and can be removed from the list if they do not continue to meet the requirements of the program. Strategic PlanFrom fiscal year 2012 through 2014, the Association’s strategic plan aims to advance the mission of the Alzheimer’s Association. This plan is the most aggressive and most measurable in the history of our organization. We have a responsibility to respond to this epidemic, and we are doing so, collectively across the country.

Our HistoryThe Alzheimer's Association is the world leader in Alzheimer research and support. Since our founding in 1980, we have provided nearly $292 million to support research into the prevention, treatment and eventual cure for Alzheimer's. Our nationwide network of chapters offer frontline support to individuals affected by Alzheimer's with services that include 24/7 information and referral, safety services, and education and support groups. The St. Louis Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association is one of the original nine chapters of the National Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Disorders Association. The Chapter began in 1980 as a 10-member family group, gathered to share information and caregiving tips. We now have 32 staff members providing support and services to 22,500 people annually, through our 24/7 Helpline, care consultations, MedicAlert®+Safe Return® program, respite assistance program and education classes for families and professionals. |
