The Beautiful Brain Campaign is a 5-year bipartisan initiative to secure funding for brain health through the next presidential term. 100% of every gift funds the ecosystem: the policy fight, the research, and the caregivers holding on in the background to end the neurodegeneration crisis among women.

Today, 7.2 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimers and related dementias. By 2060, this number will double, and associated costs will rise to more than $1 trillion. We now know these diseases disproportionately affect women (two-thirds of all cases) and begin silently and earlier than previously thought. But currently, the NIH invests only 3% of its Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia funding on work that is relevant to women’s health. Sex based differences in research matter. The NIH needs to fund it in this way —a distinction that will lead to more precise and effective treatments for all.

Groundbreaking science, meaningful policy work, and caregiver support all exist, but in silos, competing for funding instead of compounding each other's impact. This campaign is about building connections, backing promising research, supporting caregivers, and fighting to make women’s brain health a national priority. No single organization can solve this set of problems. It must be a powerful ecosystem operating in concert.

All gifts are tax-deductible. The Beautiful Brain Campaign is a restricted initiative of the Corky & Rick Steiner Family Foundation, a registered 501 (c)(3) organization.
