MissionThe American Brain Foundation brings researchers and donors together to defeat brain disease. We believe that funding research across a broad spectrum of brain diseases and conditions is the best hope for reaching our vision of a world without brain disease. If we cure one brain disease, we will cure many. In 2017 the American Brain Foundation increased its investment in the rising generation of brain disease investigators. With an eye toward involving more people in our research mission, we built and tested the world's first neuroscience crowdfunding platform. And we honored the outstanding scientists and members of the public who are leading the fight to defeat brain disease.MissionDesc

DescAWARDS: The American Brain Foundation also honored and provided financial support to leaders in the fight against brain disease-both scientists and members of the public. PUBLIC LEADERSHIP IN NEUROLOGY AWARD: B. Smith and Dan Gasby received the American Brain Foundation's prestigious Public Leadership in Neurology Award. The award honors an individual or group outside of the medical profession. Honorees are known for advancing public understanding and awareness of neurologic disease, being effective advocates for neuroscience research, and making significant contributions to improve patient care. B. Smith, a nationally-recognized celebrity chef, restaurateur, supermodel, and lifestyle maven, was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's in 2013. Smith and Dan Gasby, her husband and business partner, have crisscrossed the country, making appearances at Alzheimer's educational and fundraising events. They co-authored the book Before I Forget: Love, Hope, and Acceptance in our Fight Against Alzheimer's, released by Random House in January 2016. Dan Gasby recently joined the American Brain Foundation's Board of Directors to help amplify our voice in making curing brain disease a public cause. BOARD CHAIR AWARD: Our Board Chair Kevin Goodno presented the Board Chair Award to Francis Kittredge, MD, FAAN, the first President of the American Academy of Neurology Foundation which later became the American Brain Foundation. Dr. Kittredge pioneered the Clinical Research Training Scholarship program which remains the cornerstone of the American Brain Foundation. Eighty-seven percent of award recipients have gone on to receive NIH and other funding-an outcome on target with the Foundation's research focus. ASSOCIATION OF INDIAN NEUROLOGISTS IN AMERICA LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: Through its fund at the American Brain Foundation, the Association of Indian Neurologists in America presented its Lifetime Achievement Award to Kapil Sethi, MD. The award recognizes a leader in neurology by his or her peers. Dr. Sethi was honored for his dedication in advancing the training of North American Neurologists of Indian origin and promoting innovation and research in the field of neurology. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NEUROLOGY SCIENTIFIC AWARDS: The American Brain Foundation underwrote the American Academy of Neurology's prestigious scientific awards, including the internationally-known Potamkin Prize in Pick's, Alzheimer's, and related diseases, and the Sheila Essey Award for Research in ALS. Other awards included: Dreifuss-Penry Epilepsy Award, Norman Geschwind Prize in Behavioral Neurology, Wayne A. Hening Sleep Medicine Investigator Award, Herzog Neuroendocrine Research Award, Mitchell B. Max Award for Neuropathic Pain, Movement Disorders Research Award, Michael S. Pessin Stroke Leadership Prize, Bruce S. Schoenberg International Award in Neuroepidemiology, Sleep Science Award, Jon Stolk Award in Movement Disorders for Young Investigators, Founders Award, and S. Weir Mitchell Award.Desc

DescPUBLIC OUTREACH: The Foundation invested in several public awareness-building projects, including an inspirational video about our mission, a marketing plan, refreshed branding, and a new, educational website. The website incorporates the world's first neuroscience crowdfunding platform. Crowdfunding builds awareness of our mission and of the connections between the various diseases of the brain, which most of the public thinks of as distinct and unconnected. It is also a fundraising tool. The Foundation also built awareness of our cause through several events and projects, including: BRAIN HEALTH FAIR: provided educational materials on brain disease to nearly 2,000 patients, families and caregivers affected by neurological disease in the Boston area, at this event organized by the American Academy of Neurology. STANDING STRONG: A special event which drew the connection between Alzheimer's disease and our mission through a professionally-produced play at Park Square Theater in St. Paul, Minnesota. COMMITMENT TO CURES: An awards dinner at the American Academy of Neurology's annual meeting. BIKE HELMET GIVE-AWAY: Helping to distribute 3,000 free bike helmets to adults, children and nonprofits in Minneapolis, Minnesota. TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY(TBI) MEDIA CAMPAIGN: A media campaign on concussion and TBI in the Twin Cities market, as part of run-up to the Super Bowl, undertaken through a media partnership with the Twin Cities NBC affiliate, KARE11, including broadcast spots, homepage banner, and social media campaign. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF NEUROLOGY CONFERENCE: The Foundation staffed a booth at the American Academy of Neurology's weeklong annual conference, which drew 14,000 members of the neurology community, and whose purpose was to build awareness of the Foundation and our work.Desc

DescCROWDFUNDING FOR CURES: To expand support for research, the American Brain Foundation built and tested the world's first neuroscience crowdfunding platform, with the aim of formally launching campaigns in 2018. Crowdfunding advances our mission by bringing researchers and donors together online in campaigns to raise needed research dollars and raise public awareness. Scientific investigators may qualify their projects for crowdfunding through a two-part online application process. In a vetting process developed by the Foundation's Research Advisory Committee, projects are approved for posting by review panels the American Academy of Neurology experts. Once a research project is posted on our platform, the Foundation works with the researcher to launch a crowdfunding campaign in its support. Patients, caregivers, and others can sort through the projects on the crowdfunding platform by disease, and then give directly to projects they care about most. One hundred percent of donations go directly to project support.Desc

Form 990, Part III, Line 2To expand support for research, the American Brain Foundation built and tested the world's first neuroscience crowdfunding platform, with the aim of formally launching campaigns in 2018. Crowdfunding advances our mission by bringing researchers and donors together online in campaigns to raise needed research dollars and raise public awareness.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11bThe CFO undertook extensive review of the draft Form 990 as initially prepared by the Finance Business Manager. Their review was thereafter augmented by exempt organizations Tax/Legal Counsel. This Form 990 was then presented to the Audit Committee by the CFO and other members of the management team. The Audit Committee reviewed the Form 990 and identified any agreed upon changes to be made. In line with Minnesota Law, the final Form 990 was approved by the Board of Directors. The final 990 was brought to the Board for discussion during a full meeting of the Board of Directors, prior to filing the final Form 990. At that time, the completed overview of this Form 990 was provided to the Board by the CFO.
Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12cThe Foundation's conflict of interest policy covers individuals serving as an officer, director, committee member, or positions of official responsibility or leadership. All covered individuals are required to complete a relationship disclosure statement annually, or as changes in personal circumstances occur. The statements are reviewed and actions determined according to the Foundation's hierarchy based on position; or by the Executive Committee if a resolution cannot be made. Potential conflicts are handled on an individual basis. Actions taken depend on the severity of the conflict which include no action required, on-going monitoring with appropriate disclosure, or withdrawal from the conflicting relationship. Conflict of interest proceedings are documented in meeting minutes or as appropriate.
