Mission Statement
Canadians for Leading Edge Alzheimer Research (CLEAR) is a nonprofit organization with a singular mission: Eradicate all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer disease by funding research towards a cure. 100% of all donations are directed towards world class Canadian research.
About This Cause
Our Commitment To maximize the impact of every dollar donated, we direct 100% of all funds raised to promising scientific research into the cause, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer disease and other dementia right here in Canada. Our Goal The research we fund could lead to the breakthrough the world has been waiting for. Or it could become a missing piece in other research—a catalyst to another lab’s groundbreaking discovery, here in Canada or somewhere else in the world. In the global fight against this unforgiving disease, we’re all in this together. Our Impact CLEAR has funded or committed to fund $16 million of research, and has leveraged that funding to $25 million through its use of partnerships. Research is dependent on on-going donations. We fund research in three ways: 1. CLEAR's Annual Operating grant 2. Scholar Awards in collaboration with Michael Smith Health Research BC 3. Trainee Awards in collaboration with Michael Smith Health Research BC Our research aims to discover the unknown causes of dementia while propelling new advancements in therapeutic treatments and prevention methods.
