Fund World-Class Dementia Research in Canada

CLEAR Foundation is a national non-profit with a singular mission of funding world-class scientific research for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias, right here in Canada.

Over 1 Million Canadians will be living with dementia in the next five years

The Urgency of Dementia in Canada

Dementia is one of the most pressing health crises facing Canada today.

With over 700,000 Canadians currently living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias—a number expected to nearly double by 2050—the impact on families, caregivers, and the healthcare system is staggering. Every three minutes, someone in Canada is diagnosed, yet there is no cure.

This disease doesn’t just rob individuals of their memories; it devastates lives, communities, and the nation’s economy.

Urgent action is needed to fund research that can lead to breakthroughs, treatments, and ultimately, a future free from dementia.
