This is a time of unprecedented promise in the quest to achieve our vision:
A world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia®.
Today, we are growing philanthropic support for Alzheimer's research. We are fostering a dynamic community of Alzheimer's scientists. And we're working hard to secure increased federal funding for research. These are all crucial for finding new treatments to stop, slow and prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
