What is an Alzheimer's charity?
Alzheimer's charities work on one disease from several angles: funding dementia research, supporting people living with Alzheimer's, and helping the family caregivers who carry most of the daily load. National research funders sit alongside local dementia support groups in this directory; the country and organization size filters above separate them. GiveRadar assigns the Alzheimer's cause tag from each organization's name, stated mission, and registry classification: charities cannot choose or buy the tag. Related causes appear as chips above, and every cause we track is listed at all causes.
An Alzheimer's charity is a nonprofit that dedicates its mission to Alzheimer's disease or related dementias: funding research toward treatments, providing care and support services for people with the condition, or both. Some are research foundations that award grants to scientists, some run helplines, day programs, and caregiver support on the ground, and some combine the two. The directory above includes all of these forms, because registries classify them under one disease even when their day-to-day work looks very different.
What do Alzheimer's charities do?
Alzheimer's charities typically fund dementia research, deliver care services, and support the caregivers behind every diagnosis. Common activities in this cause:
- Awarding research grants for the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer's and other dementias
- Running helplines and information services for people who have just received a diagnosis and for their families
- Organizing day programs, memory cafes, and social activities that keep people with dementia connected
- Training and supporting family caregivers, including respite care that gives them time to recover
- Promoting earlier diagnosis through public awareness and screening campaigns
- Training care professionals and care homes in dementia-specific care
- Advocating for dementia strategies, care funding, and patient rights with governments
How to check an Alzheimer's charity before you donate
Before giving to an Alzheimer's charity, check one thing first: whether your money would fund research, care services, or awareness, because the name alone almost never tells you. "Foundation", "association", and "society" names cluster heavily in this cause and sound alike, so match the registration number on the charity's page to the organization you actually mean, not a similarly named one. If research is your goal, look in the mission and filings for how grants are awarded; if care is your goal, check that the charity operates in the country where you want the support delivered, since dementia care is inherently local. Reserves deserve a fair reading here: research funders commit to multi-year grants, so holding funds across years can be normal practice rather than a warning sign. Use the filings, leadership, and contact details on each profile, and remember that the integrity assessment measures disclosure, not impact: it cannot tell you whether a research program will succeed or a care service is good. Our guide for donors covers the general checks, and the charity checker lets you look up any organization by name.
Common questions
What is an Alzheimer's charity?
An Alzheimer's charity is a nonprofit dedicated to Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, through research funding, care and support services, or public awareness. Some focus on grants for scientific research while others run helplines, day programs, and caregiver support in their own communities. Many organizations in this cause also describe themselves as dementia charities, since Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia.
How do I know if an Alzheimer's charity is legitimate?
Start with registration: a legitimate Alzheimer's charity appears in its country's official charity or nonprofit registry, and each GiveRadar profile shows the registration details we hold. Then look at disclosure: recent filings, named leadership, and working contact details are the signals a real, accountable organization leaves behind. Be careful with similar-sounding names in this cause and confirm the registration number matches the exact organization you intend to support.
