This Giving Tuesday, Help Build a Dementia-Friendly New Jersey! image

Giving Tuesday offers a chance to give back to the causes that matter. It’s a day to support organizations that are making an impact in our communities—and today, we ask you to join us in supporting New Jersey families affected by Alzheimer’s and related dementias.

Why Act Now Foundation:

For over a decade, Act Now Foundation has been providing a lifeline to families impacted by Alzheimer's and related dementias. Founded by Kristine Allen and Cary Lopez, who experienced dementia firsthand in their own families, our mission is to do more than offer advice—we’re building a compassionate community where families find support, empathy, and actionable resources.

But we can’t do it alone. Your support is what allows us to continue offering these vital services—at no cost to families.

Why Your Gift Matters:

Alzheimer’s is an unrelenting, incurable disease, but early intervention and dedicated support can make all the difference. In New Jersey, nearly half of seniors with Alzheimer’s have not received a formal diagnosis or access to necessary support services. This means that too many families are left to navigate the disease without guidance or help.

Act Now Foundation offers the critical services that families need, including:

  • Cognitive Assessments to empower families with early diagnoses.
  • Long-term Care Planning to ensure individuals live with dignity throughout their journey.
  • Caregiver Support Groups to build a network of emotional and educational support.
  • Community Education on dementia prevention and care.
  • Advocacy & Awareness to combat stigma and improve access to resources.

Donate Today and Be the Change!

Your donation on Giving Tuesday directly supports families facing Alzheimer’s and related dementias. 100% of your gift goes to providing free services, education, and resources to those in need. Every dollar you give helps us continue to expand our reach and provide essential care to families in New Jersey.
