Director of Corporate Giving

Alzheimer’s disease is the sixth leading killer in America, and it is going to take all of Us to stop it. Government, industry, nonprofits, researchers, patients, and caregivers all play important roles in this fight. As a respected convener in this movement, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s (UsA2) brings these people together to collaborate on solutions and advocate for change. With a focus on risk reduction, early detection and diagnosis, and treatment, we:

• Equip people with information and resources to eliminate stigma and empower them to take charge of their brain health
• Advocate for policies that help reduce risk, increase access to treatments, and support people living with the disease and their caregivers
• Champion increased research funding to better understand this complex disease and how to treat it
• Push for a healthcare system that works for everyone, especially Latinos and Black people, who are the most impacted by the disease

UsAgainstAlzheimer’s is an innovative and dynamic organization that is deeply committed to this cause. If you share our passion, we hope to hear from you. Learn more at www.usagainstalzheimers.org.
