The DZNE Foundation
Help us defeat dementia, Parkinson’s disease, and ALS with your donation!
What does your donation achieve?
The goal of the DZNE Foundation and its three dedicated funds is to advance research at DZNE through donations so that diseases such as dementia (e. g., Alzheimer’s disease), Parkinson’s disease, and ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) can be better diagnosed and ultimately cured. Donations enable us to implement additional research projects at DZNE.
You can find out which research projects have been supported in the past on the DZNE Foundation website.
Diverse funding opportunities
If you would like to specifically support research into a particular disease, you can allocate your donation to one of the Foundation’s dedicated funds.
