When you support Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, you ensure that our mission is carried out in a number of key areas:
As a Cure Alzheimer’s Fund supporter, you can create a true, lasting difference in the world with a gift that makes an impact now, or a gift that will create your enduring legacy toward eliminating Alzheimer’s disease. By working together to find a cure, we will relieve the physical, emotional, and financial burden of this illness for millions of people throughout the world.
There are many ways to be a part of the solution to find a cure. It is through your support that we continue to move a little closer to understanding Alzheimer’s disease — and finding a cure.
Focus on the Biology of the Disease
UNCOVERING THE EMERGING ROLE OF THE GUT MICROBIOME
With support from CureAlz, scientists across five independent labs are uncovering a powerful link between the gut and the brain that could transform how we prevent and treat Alzheimer’s disease. The microbes in our digestive system produce brain-boosting compounds and help activate immune cells that clear toxic amyloid plaques. As the microbiome changes with age, researchers are working to identify the “beneficial bugs” that promote healthy brain aging to develop breakthrough therapies. The idea that protecting our memories could start in the gut is both profound and promising.

Important work prioritizing new targets for intervention
Astrocytes emerge as a powerful new focus in Alzheimer’s research
At the NYU Grossman School of Medicine, CureAlz—funded researchers are advancing bold science focused on astrocytes, essential support cells that nourish neurons and maintain healthy brain connections. In Alzheimer’s disease, these cells can become reactive and even neurotoxic, contributing to neuron loss and cognitive decline. With support from Cure Alzheimer’s Fund, this high-risk, high-reward work is driving the development of first-in-class molecules designed to stop this toxic transformation and preserve brain function.

Speeding the timeline for new therapies
The Power of Collaboration
For many researchers, Alzheimer’s work is personal, shaped by family experiences with dementia and a desire to make a real difference. In this video, one scientist shares how these personal connections drive daily work in the lab, and how funding from Cure Alzheimer’s Fund links researchers across the globe to accelerate discoveries.
Watch this video to see how collaboration is helping identify early warning signs, explore new interventions, and bring hope to those at risk of Alzheimer’s disease.
Game-changing Discoveries
A TURNING POINT IN ALZHEIMER’S RESEARCH
After decades of progress, Alzheimer’s science is entering a defining moment. Advances in understanding amyloid and early detection are opening the door to preventing the disease before symptoms begin. Your support fuels the high-risk, high-reward work behind these breakthroughs, bringing us closer to safe, affordable interventions that could stop Alzheimer’s from developing while also improving treatment for those already living with it.
Watch the video to see how this momentum is bringing us closer to stopping Alzheimer’s for good.
