“We have hit the era of treatment and momentum is starting to build. To fuel this evolution, it's more important than ever that everyone steps in.”
— Josh Lonn, Alzheimer’s Association volunteer
The Alzheimer's Association leads the way to end Alzheimer's and all other dementia — by accelerating global research, driving risk reduction and early detection, and maximizing quality care and support.
But we can't end Alzheimer's without your help.
Formed in 1980, the Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer's care, support and research. When you support the Alzheimer's Association, you're supporting our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia®.
In 2023, the Association provided help more than 6.5 million times through care consultations, local support groups, education programs and more. Our work is made possible by people like you who agree: no one should have to face Alzheimer's or another dementia alone.
The Alzheimer's Association is currently investing more than $430 million in over 1,110 dementia research projects in 56 countries, spanning six continents. Thanks to generous donors and supporters, we've played a vital role in nearly every major development in Alzheimer’s research, treatment and prevention.
We lead the charge of voices like yours, advocating for funding and policies that address the Alzheimer’s crisis. Advocacy by the Alzheimer's Association has increased the federal funding for Alzheimer's and dementia research to $3.8 billion annually — a more than seven-fold increase in the last decade.
Understanding Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia
Alzheimer's is the most common form of dementia. It causes problems with memory, thinking and behavior.
