Review for Alzheimers Disease Research Foundation dba Cure Alzheimer's Fund, Wellesley Hills, MA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I lost my father to Alzheimer’s disease in 2012. While searching online to find information about what research was being done, I found the Cure Alzheimer’s Fund website and was fascinated with their venture philanthropy model. The organization was founded by individuals of the highest caliber, who cover all of the administrative costs of the organization. Every penny that is donated goes directly to research. Their Research Consortium is comprised of brilliant scientists that chart a roadmap for research and identify the best and the brightest Alzheimer’s scientists, and then the organization funds their research.

I have met all of the founders and management in the organization. They are men and women of the utmost integrity who have committed themselves and their resources to finding the cure to Alzheimer’s disease, and they are moving the ball. They encourage scientists from around the globe to collaborate and share their research findings. New discoveries are being made, limited only by funding. There is very little federal funding available for research, so the scientists must rely on private funding to continue their research.

I can highly recommend Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, knowing 100% of donations will go directly to research.

If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...

None - the venture philanthropy model is exceptional, as are the people that lead the organization.
