01What it does

What Deane F Johnson Alzheimer's Research Foundation does

Mission

The organization's (referred to as dfjarf) purpose is to provide funding for 1) research focused on the prevention of and finding a cure for alzheimer's disease, 2) to promote an increased public awareness of symptoms, treatments, and care of individuals with alzheimer's disease, and 3) to increase the accessibility of care and treatment for those afflicted with alzheimer's disease.

As stated on its FY2018 Form 990-EZ.

Program

Dfjarf donated funds to the actors fund home, a long term memory care facility, located in englewood, new jersey in which such funds were used to endow a bed in the alzheimer's unit in memory of deane f. Johnson who was a dedicated actors fund board member and who suffered from alzheimer's disease..dfjarf initiated a partnership to work with michael feinstein's foundation, "perfect harmony" which brings music to alzheimer's patients, their families, and caregivers. We started the process to develop a national program with the kickoff being with the motion picture& television fund alzheimer's unit in los angeles and the actors fund alzheimer's facility in new jersey. Dfjarf is acting as the facilitator to bring these three organizations together in this effort along with dfjarf. Our hope is this will come to fruition in 2019/2020.

The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

How it's funded, over time

Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.

1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of DEANE F JOHNSON ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

Where its funders are

100% of DEANE F JOHNSON ALZHEIMER'S RESEARCH FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $123 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
