This #GivingTuesday, your gift can be triple-matched, up to $400,000, to advance research and to provide much-needed care and support to families facing Alzheimer's and all other dementia.
“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.

While every day is a day to honor our loved ones impacted by this disease, our #GivingTuesday 3x match challenge is a special chance to pay tribute to someone in your life with a gift that can go three times as far in our fight to end Alzheimer’s.
You only have until midnight tonight to make a gift that can be triple-matched to provide much-needed care and support to the millions of families facing Alzheimer’s, while advancing critical research to help end this disease. When you support the Alzheimer's Association, you can be confident you're helping to further the fight against Alzheimer's and all other dementia. See our use of funds and finances.
