Creating a future without Alzheimer's Parkinson's Lewy Body Dementia any dementia
Research today. Cures tomorrow.
The Foundation of Memory aims to make dementia yesterday’s problem. To do so, we support paradigm-shifting science. We advance research into the biology of neurodegeneration, so that treatment can begin before symptoms ever set in. And we enlist Promethean researchers, who can dream outside the lines of ordinary thinking — and, in so doing, design truly innovative therapies.

Welcome to the Foundation of Memory
(a 501c3 non-profit organization)
Together, let’s build a bridge to a world without dementia
