Support the Orr Lab

Our research is primarily funded through federal grants and foundations. We also receive donations from the families and friends affected by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

It is these donations that allow us to expand our impact. From the smallest to the largest donation, we work hard to use all donation gifts prudently and efficiently.

The donations have allowed us to purchase lab supplies, contribute funding to community and professional education seminars, and to fund novel research projects.

How Do You Donate?

Fast track donations to the Lab can be made online with a credit card. To set up a memorial fund, a specific fund raising event, or an online memorial donation button, simply contact our lab by phone or email and we will help you organize it in a way that works for you.
