The CART Fund provides funds for cutting-edge research to cure Alzheimer’s disease. CART started in 1996 with Rotarians voluntarily emptying their pockets and purses of change at weekly meetings.
WHAT WE DO:
One hundred percent (100%) of donated funds go to cutting-edge Alzheimer’s disease research. As of May 2021, CART has awarded $10.2 million dollars in 60 grants to recognized US research institutions.
HOW WE DO IT:
The Fund is governed by a Board of Trustees composed of representatives from the Rotary districts that support the program. It is a 501(C)3 organization, Federal ID #31-1466051. The Fund is chartered as a nonprofit organization under the laws of the state of South Carolina.
