Alzheimer Foundation Southwest Partners
The mission of the Alzheimer Foundation is to raise and grant philanthropic funds that enable the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners to pursue excellence in programs, services and research.
Through donor support, the Foundation contributes to vital programs and services and compassionate care at the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners as well as breakthrough research initiatives.
As the Alzheimer Society Southwest Partners must fundraise over $2 million annually to support current services, we are dependant upon and grateful for the financial support of our donors, funders and the Foundation, without which we couldn’t offer the wide array of programs made available to our clients at no cost.
Your gift can also be made over the phone at 519-680-2404 or via mail at:

Hope for the Future Fund
The Hope for the Future Fund has been established as an endowed fund for the Alzheimer Foundation Southwest Partners. Income generated by the fund goes towards research, education and support programs. Money directed to this fund can be in memory of someone, with the assurance that it will continue to provide funding for ALZSWP programs and services on an ongoing basis. This means that a gift to Hope for the Future in memory of your loved one becomes a lasting, permanent legacy.
Planned gifts
Planning your estate can ensure that your retirement needs are met, and that loved ones will be adequately provided for. In addition, a gift to the Alzheimer Foundation Southwest Partners in your will ensures lasting support for years to come. A planned gift can also offer methods of reducing the cost of estate taxes.
There are a variety of options for planned giving, including:
Bequests
By including a charitable gift in your will to ALZSWP – you can be our Super Hero and help us fight dementia!

By taking action and creating or updating your Will and Powers of Attorney, you will protect your family, your assets, save taxes and help in the fight against dementia. Your planned gift could be a bequest, gift of securities, gift of life insurance, major gift or other assets.
Benefits of Planned Giving include:
- Save on taxes
- Customized giving based on personal and financial circumstances
