In addition, through strategic partnerships, AFA funds research for medical treatment and a cure. Our mission is "to provide optimal care and services to individuals confronting dementia, and to their caregivers and families—through member organizations dedicated to improving quality of life." Our focus is "Caring for the Nation...One Person at a Time." AFA provides several grant opportunities in order to fulfill our mission of providing optimal care to individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related illnesses, and their families.
