My Nonprofit Reviews

I have had the pleasure of working with the Cure Alzheimer's Fund (CAF) for over a year now. They are nothing short of fantastic. My grandfather suffers from Alzheimer's so I know first hand the devastation of this disease. I co-founded and run a 501(c)3 non-profit in his honor that donates all of its proceeds to CAF (we have donated more than $60,000 thus far!)


Here are the reasons I believe the Cure Alzheimer's Fund is an amazing non-profit:

1) The organization concentrates on ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH. While Alzheimer's care, services and educational programs are important, this disease will not be cured until more $$$ goes toward research.

2) The founders pay for all overhead and administrative expenses! This means that 100% OF EVERY DOLLAR DONATED GOES TOWARDS RESEARCH! This cannot be overstated!!!!!!

3) The "Venture Capital style" approach allows for projects to get funded in as little a 2-3 weeks. This means less time filling out grant proposals, and more time finding potential cures! They have a bonafide advisory board that approves projects proposed by their world class research consortium (http://curealz.org/research/researchers) which includes respected MDs and PhDs.

4) Since the founders pay for all overhead, this lends itself towards having a relatively small staff (i.e. LEAN approach). This allows for a very intimate connection to the organization. I have gotten to know almost all of the staff over the course of working with them. When you contact them you know you are speaking to someone who has authority to help you and make decisions. They have been SO HELPFUL and have gone OUT OF THEIR WAY in assisting my organization.

This problem will only be solved collectively....every dollar counts!

If you're considering working with them or donating, please do so with 110% confidence!
