Alzheimer Foundation (Alzheimer nadační fond) is a Czech non-profit organization founded in 2011 with the mission to support research, care, education, and awareness related to Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative and vascular brain disorders that lead to cognitive decline and dementia.

The Foundation works to improve the quality of diagnosis, treatment, and patient care in the Czech Republic by supporting scientific research, fostering collaboration among experts, and promoting the exchange of knowledge with international institutions.

Key initiatives and programs include competitive scholarships and grants for young researchers, doctors, and professionals working in neurology, geriatrics, psychiatry, and neuroscience; the annual Dr. Jan Bureš Award for outstanding scientific publications; and targeted support for scientists to participate in leading conferences and publish their work.

In addition to research and professional development, the Foundation runs community-focused projects such as Alzheimer Point, a free counseling center offering expert guidance for caregivers and people living with cognitive impairment, and Alzheimer Café, an informal monthly meetup for family members, caregivers, and professionals to share insights and support.

Through its activities, Alzheimer Foundation aims to raise awareness about Alzheimer’s disease, expand the pool of skilled care providers in the Czech Republic, and ultimately contribute to better outcomes for patients and families affected by dementia.
