The Curing Alzheimer's Disease Foundation
The Curing Alzheimer’s Disease (CAD) Foundation is nonprofit public charity with EIN #88-3154550. It was created in 2022 following the University of Minnesota’s inability to secure governmental funding for The Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab. The premise on creating the foundation was simple: the research needed to move forward – here the UMN had the first legitimate case proving that simple drug interventions could reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms and preserve brain function – yet the government was refusing to fund the lab’s work. Therefore, our foundation was formed (the CAD Foundation) in order to generate non-governmental funding, offering healthy tax incentives to those making donations to us – which we then pass 100% on to the University who is contractually obligated to use 100% of what we provide for research only. Not another lab, not the football team – JUST The Alzheimer’s Legacy Lab and that’s it.
When we filed for nonprofit status, we registered as Curing Alzheimer’s Disease Private Foundation Inc. The word “Private” reflects our commitment to privatized funding of Alzheimer’s research. Unlike government agencies that often move slowly or avoid unconventional ideas, our foundation steps in quickly to support bold, promising science. While we operate legally as a public charity, the “Private” signals our independence from traditional funding channels.
