Revenue surged 75% from the prior year, signaling strong growth momentum. The organization ran a surplus of $5.4M, a strong 52% operating margin.
ABF's mission is to accelerate breakthrough research on brain disease and optimize brain health for all. Driven by the certainty that all aspects of the brain are interconnected, we invest in research on mechanisms shared by multiple brain diseases, disorders, and injuries, setting the stage for new treatments to emerge for conditions that were previously untreatable.

GRANTS: In 2023, the American Brain Foundation funded Next Generation Research Grants in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS); Alzheimer's; Cognitive Aging and Age-Related Memory Loss; Epilepsy; Frontotemporal Degeneration; Lewy Body Dementia; Migraine; Multiple Sclerosis; Muscular Dystrophy; Neuromuscular Disease; Parkinson's Disease; Peripheral Neuropathy; Stroke; Tourette Syndrome; and Neurological Healthcare Disparities. These are two- and three-year innovative clinical research projects that launch research careers. Over 95% of the nearly 300 investigators the foundation has funded have received additional research funding from the NIH and other entities to continue the research started with our grants. The American Brain Foundation also continued to lead the development and funding of an initiative to find a biomarker for the early diagnosis of Lewy body dementia with partners the Alzheimer's Association, the Michael J. Fox Foundation, and the American Academy of Neurology. We expect this research to lead to more clarity and effective therapies for people struggling with LBD, and to increase our understanding of other neurodegenerative brain diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

PUBLIC OUTREACH: The American Brain Foundation continued to invest in a large-scale public awareness campaign with the purpose of educating the public about the need for brain disease research. The multi-channel campaign provided resources and information about brain diseases and disorders, the latest brain research news, and stories from patients and caregivers. The American Brain Foundation produced free monthly webinars with neurology experts for the public on topics such as Deep Brain Stimulation, Sleep and the Brain, and Migraine Research and Treatment. The Commitment to Cures gala was a hybrid event and was attended by nearly 2,000 people and raised over $850,000. All key performance indicators for public outreach exceeded goals. Comparing 2022 to 2021, Social media followers increased 51%, website traffic increased 50%, and email subscribers increased 31%.
