The Beautiful Brain Campaign
Advancing women’s brain health through research, policy, and care
The Vision
Today, women make up two-thirds of Alzheimer’s patients—but the NIH still doesn’t fund women’s brain health as its own category.
We want to change that. So we’re building the connections, backing the research, and fighting for the policy so that women’s brain health has what it deserves: federal research dollars.
Our Philosophy
Dementia won’t be solved by one breakthrough, one bill, or one caregiver support group. It will be solved by the ecosystem of research, policy, and care working together.
The Beautiful Brain Campaign exists to build—and fund—the ecosystem it actually takes to change women’s brain health for good. Whether it’s the policy fight in Washington, the science behind prevention and early diagnosis, or the caregivers holding families together, we’re investing in what the future can and should look like for women and families everywhere.
Three Pillars, One Goal
By investing in each lever of women’s brain health, we believe we can make the fastest impact.
Policy: We’ll join and amplify the funding fight that will make everything else possible at scale—pushing the NIH and federal lawmakers to invest in women’s brain health specifically.
Research: We’ll back scientists who are already closing in on prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment. We’ll champion their work, and help them do it on their terms.
Care: We’ll support the families and caregivers navigating this in real time—making visible the often invisible labor, financial burden, and emotional toll that too often goes unrecognized.
Our Coalition
The Beautiful Brain Campaign was formed after two years in the field meeting the researchers, policy leaders, and caregiver advocates already making meaningful progress towards women’s brain health.
UsAgainstAlzheimer’s: a Washington D.C.-based nonprofit patient and advocacy organization focused on driving policy change, accelerating research, improving early detection, and promoting health equity for those facing Alzheimer’s and other related dementias.
CaringKind: the leading expert on Alzheimer’s and dementia caregiving, developing the tools and training to support families affected by dementia.
Project ALS: funds the most promising scientific research for effective treatments and a cure for ALS.
The Clelland Lab: award-winning prevention science by Dr. Claire Clelland, the Alzheimer's Association Endowed Chair at UCSF.
Join the Ecosystem
Groundbreaking science, meaningful policy work, and caregiver support already exist. But they’ve not yet worked in harmony towards one, unified goal: fundamentally transforming women’s brain health.
Every gift—at every size—funds our ecosystem of change.
