Support Us

The diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease can only advance with the generous support of individuals and organisations. At Alzheimer’s Research Australia, the tangible contributions of our donors enable us to drive pioneering initiatives that improve outcomes for all Australians.

Funding Specific Research Programs

The generous backing of our corporate partners has provided significant support, allowing for the advancement of specific Alzheimer’s research programs. These collaborations have been instrumental in furthering our understanding of Alzheimer’s cell biology and gene mutation which are now potential targets for new treatments. They have also played a pivotal role in supporting research initiatives aimed at developing a potential early-stage blood biomarker test for Alzheimer’s disease.

We are delighted to offer you the option of supporting a specific research program, or if you prefer, we can allocate your funds to areas where we determine they will have the greatest impact.

Make the Difference

By becoming a corporate partner, you send a powerful message to your staff and stakeholders, demonstrating the significance of this issue and its impact on all of us. Corporate funding directed towards Alzheimer’s can play a pivotal role in accelerating research advancements and improving outcomes for those affected by the disease.

Join us on this important journey, and together, we can change the future.

To explore partnership opportunities, please reach out to us today. Your commitment has the potential to be the catalyst for transformative progress in Alzheimer’s research.

Alzheimer’s Research Australia invites you to contemplate a unique opportunity — a way to make a lasting impact. A gift in your Will is a quiet yet powerful commitment to sustaining the crucial research into this challenging disease. Your legacy can help shape the future of Alzheimer’s.

Workplace giving is a powerful and simple way to make regular donations to Alzheimer’s disease research. When you contribute to Alzheimer’s Research Australia through your workplace giving program, you play a crucial role in funding ground-breaking research into Alzheimer’s disease.

You can establish regular tax-deductible donations to Alzheimer’s Research Australia through your employer’s payroll system, giving as much or as little as you prefer. Make donations with ease, straight from your pre-tax salary.

What are the advantages of workplace giving?

Your employer’s workplace giving program simplifies the process of setting up regular, tax-deductible donations directly from your pre-tax income.

The process is entirely automated. Once you’ve enrolled, there’s no need for additional action. Even recordkeeping is handled for you, with contributions appearing on your payslip, and you’ll receive a tax receipt at the end of the financial year.

Your donations are pre-tax, effectively reducing your taxable income.

If your employer offers a matching donation program, your contribution may be matched or even tripled!

How to participate in a workplace giving program

First, determine if your organisation offers a workplace giving program. If they do, choose Alzheimer’s Research Australia as your designated charity and indicate your preferred donation amount. Your employer will handle the rest, ensuring these donations go to Alzheimer’s Research Australia on your behalf.

If your organisation doesn’t currently have a workplace giving program, please contact Caren Wilson on (08) 6457 0253 or email info@alzheimersresearch.org.au to explore how to establish one.
