Cure One, Cure Many
The American Brain Foundation promotes and invests in research across the whole spectrum of brain disease. We believe that when we cure one of these diseases, we will cure many.
Our Mission
The American Brain Foundation brings researchers and donors together to cure brain diseases and disorders.
Our Vision
Life without brain disease.
Driven to Find a Cure
Since 1992, the American Brain Foundation has been investing in research to defeat brain diseases and disorders. We are a national foundation for the brain dedicated to the relentless pursuit of early diagnoses, improved treatments, and the discovery of cures for brain diseases and disorders.
We unite donors and researchers to impact the lives of patients and those around them. We invest in research of the whole brain and all neurologic disorders knowing they are interconnected. This holistic, innovative approach allows us to build bridges between diseases and break new ground in research and application.
Believing in a whole-brain approach gives us an edge in understanding and combating brain disease. We understand that when we cure one brain disease, we will cure many.
Our Impact
Studying the whole brain makes a whole lot of difference.
Funding research across a broad spectrum of the brain and nervous system is our best hope for finding better treatments, prevention, and cures for the brain diseases affecting 1 in 6 people. That is why the American Brain Foundation has invested millions of dollars to support innovative scientific investigations by the best and the brightest researchers.
