Why Support the Alzheimer Society of Montreal and Its Mission?

In Quebec, nearly 170,000 people are living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related neurocognitive disorder, including over 40,000 Montrealers. 

The number of people with cognitive disorders could increase by 145% over the next 25 years, according to the latest report by Alzheimer Canada. As a result, 360,200 Quebecers will be diagnosed with a form of dementia by 2050.

We anticipate a significant increase in the demand for our programs, counselling services, respite and stimulation services, as well as our training and education offerings over the next few years. Given this context, there is an urgent need to raise public awareness about the importance of fundraising initiatives—such as the Walk for Alzheimer’s—to help us expand our services.

Last year, through the programs and services offered across our various service points on the Island of Montreal, we reached more than 3,000 Montrealers living with cognitive disorders, along with their caregivers, healthcare professionals, and community organizations. We are truly proud of this achievement!

The Alzheimer Society of Montreal is fortunate to receive grants that account for approximately 30% of its annual budget. However, we also rely heavily on the generosity of donors like you to ensure the continuity of our services. Our goal is to expand our support to Montrealers affected by Alzheimer’s disease by doubling our capacity to act. To meet this challenge, we must redouble our efforts.

Alzheimer’s disease affects everyone. Help us support twice as many Montrealers living with dementia and their caregivers today! Register to the Walk for Alzheimer's now or make a donation !
