Alzheimers Disease Research Foundation dba Cure Alzheimer's Fund

The purpose of Cure Alzheimer's Fund is to provide research grants to scientists around the world who are looking for the cause of Alzheimer's disease. By understanding the cause, the research community will then be able to provide therapies that will prevent – slow – or cure the disease. Our aim is to provide these research grants until Alzheimer's disease has been eradicated.

2. The research grants are funded through donations made from the public and, in some cases, we also attract small private foundations to donate to our organization. 100% of every dollar donated goes directly to research; our board of directors pays for all overhead expenses of the foundation. We have two primary activities as an organization:

a. Obtaining grant requests from researchers (and then reviewing / approving the grants through specialized scientific advisory boards)
b. Driving donations through public awareness and donor engagement activities.

3. Cure Alzheimer's Fund has been in business for 17 years; with each year, the total donations received and research grants distributed has increased. Our capabilities are built entirely to support our mission as stated in item 1.

5. We have accomplished a great deal. Nearly 200 research projects have been funded throughout the world. Of these projects, many have resulted in significant findings that have added to knowledge of the genetics of Alzheimer's disease and the causes that result in the pathology. But, we do not yet have a cure.
