Since our inception in 2004, our steadfast focus has been providing research grants to the worlds’ leading scientists researching Alzheimer’s disease. We are honored to work with scientists who are passionate in their pursuit to rid our world of this debilitating disease.

Many of the funded projects have resulted in significant breakthroughs in developing a better understanding of Alzheimer’s disease and getting closer to a cure.
