Organization's Mission
FORM 990, Part III, Line 1
The Alzheimer's Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer care, support, and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer's disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer's disease. The Alzheimer's Association is a valued resource for caregivers and those living with the disease, offering information, education and support. We are a nationwide network with more than 70 affiliated chapters working together to accomplish our mission. Our national office is headquartered in Chicago, and we have a public policy office in Washington, D.C. The Alzheimer's Association provides 24/7 constituent support through our Helpline 365 DAYS A YEAR (1.800.272.3900) and an award-winning Web site, alz.org. We are the largest nonprofit funder of Alzheimer's disease research. Since awarding our first grants in 1982, the Association has committed over $290 million to nearly 2,000 best-of-field grant proposals. As a leader in the field, we foster a network for the scientific community by hosting the largest international conference focusing on research in the world. In addition, we advocate for the needs and rights of people with Alzheimer's and their families. We speak up to help ENCOURAGE Congress to take action in the fight against this disease and host an annual advocacy forum in Washington, D.C. Education about Alzheimer's disease and awareness of the Association are key to accelerating progress. We strive to make more people aware of the services available for those facing this disease and the benefits of early detection. Millions of Americans have signed up as Alzheimer's Association "Champions" to educate, advocate, donate, and participate to move this cause forward. A donor-supported organization, the Alzheimer's Association allocates its funds in an ethical and responsible manner that exceeds the rigorous standards of America's most experienced charity evaluator, the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.
Other Program Services
FORM 990, Part III, Line 4d
Advocacy - As Alzheimer's disease threatens to bankrupt families, businesses and our healthcare system, scientists are coming closer to finding better treatments that could drastically alter the course of the disease. We also advocate for better care for people and families already facing Alzheimer's. Tens of thousands of grass roots advocates speak up for the needs and rights of people with Alzheimer's and their families, and help encourage Congress to increase funding for research. Policy activities also include collaborating with other organizations to improve quality care and raise awareness of key issues. REVENUES: NONE EXPENSES: $ 4,735,464 GRANTS: $ 4,235,791 PATIENT AND FAMILY SERVICES - The Alzheimer's Association* provides an array of information and support services designed specifically for individuals with Alzheimer's disease, their families, friends and caregivers. In order to meet the diverse needs of individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease, the Association's programs and services are offered in person, by phone and online. The Association serves over 700,000 persons per year through its programs and services. Online nationwide and in over 70 chapters throughout the country, constituents can attend education programs and support groups, enroll in location management programs, receive personalized care consultation and engage in early stage programs. The Association has been a leader in providing location management programs for the approximately 6 of 10 persons with dementia at risk for wandering. The MedicAlert* + Alzheimer's Association Safe Return program*, a bracelet identification program, has served over 180,000 individuals since its beginning in 1993. In 2009, the Association developed Comfort Zone*, a first of its kind location management system designed specifically for individuals living with dementia using GPS and cellular technology to assist families in managing the location of persons with dementia. Through the Association's 24/7/365 Helpline, individuals with Alzheimer's and their families can talk to a specialist to receive information and basic education about the disease and for more complicated or urgent situations, constituents can speak to a masters trained counselor, any time, day or night. The Helpline handles over 218,000 calls per year. The Association's website (alz.org) receives an average of 1 million visits each month. Online programs include: self-service education programs, an online community, an interactive brain tour (available in 14 languages), access to comprehensive disease information, portals in Spanish, Chinese, and Vietnamese, a virtual library, and a safety center. Through the Association's Early Stage Initiative, individuals in the early stages of the disease can participate in education programs, support groups and engagement programs. Additionally, the Association convenes an Early Stage Advisory Group whose members work to raise awareness, advocate for the cause and provide guidance and review to our programs and services. The programs and services of the Alzheimer's Association are designed to provide education, information and support and to help individuals with Alzheimer's and their families navigate the long and complicated journey through Alzheimer's disease. *THESE ARE NAMES THAT ARE TRADEMARKS TO ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION.
