How we're working to end Alzheimer's
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.
Funding Global Research
We accelerate global research to discover new methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
Advocating for Change
We advocate for funding and people-first policies that propel research and address the Alzheimer’s crisis.
Providing Local Support
We work in all communities to provide care, support and resources so that no one has to face this disease alone.
We can't end Alzheimer's without your help
Thanks to the generous support of donors, the Alzheimer's Association is able to provide care and support to millions of people facing Alzheimer's, play a vital role in nearly every major development in Alzheimer’s research, and advocate for policies that tackle the Alzheimer's crisis.
A world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia is within reach. But we need your help to get us there.
