Dear Friend,
Today more than 6 million people are living with Alzheimer's disease in the United States, and more than 11 million family members and friends are providing unpaid care. We continue our efforts in the fight to end Alzheimer's and remain committed in our search for methods of treatment, prevention and, ultimately, a cure.
You can help us continue to provide care and support to those affected by this devastating disease. Your gift to our 2023 Annual Fund will make a difference in the fight against Alzheimer's.
With support from friends like you, we have experienced great momentum in our fight to end Alzheimer's disease:
- We continued to achieve increases in federal research funding. Thanks in large part to our advocacy efforts, Congress has taken decisive action in the fight to end Alzheimer's, with more than a seven-fold increase in research funding at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) since the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA), legislation championed by the Alzheimer's Association, was signed into law in 2011. Annual Alzheimer's and dementia research funding at the NIH now totals $3.2 billion.
- The Alzheimer's Association made its largest-ever research investment last year, granting more than $59 million to 253 scientific investigations. As the world's leading nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's and dementia research, the Association is currently investing over $320 million in more than 1,000 active best-of-field projects in 54 countries.
- The Association provided care and support more than 7.5 million times through channels including alz.org, care consultations, support groups, education programs and information. Our free 24/7 Helpline (800.272.3900), staffed by specialists and master's-level clinicians received over 220,000 calls last year.
These achievements improve the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's and their families and give hope for a future without the disease. But until we end Alzheimer's, we have to keep fighting. And we need your support to do it.
Your support of our 2023 Annual Fund is critical to reaching our vision of a world without Alzheimer's and all other dementia. Your gift will advance research to end Alzheimer's and provide a lifeline of support and services to the millions of Americans impacted by this cruel disease.
Thank you,
Donna McCullough
Chief Mission and Field Operations Officer
