The organization's purpose is to eliminate alzheimer's through research, and to provide care to those already diagnosed. The group mainly raises its money from contributions and federal grants. It is a very reputable organization; however, it pays $700,000 to its CEO. The group is a multibillion dollar and invests vastly in its community. They have a 96% in accountability and transparency meaning they are very trustworthy; consequently, you know where the money will go. The group has an 85% in finance meaning that many of its financial actions are not smart such as how much it pays its CEO. 73% of its expenditure goes to programs meaning that it is aiding families surviving with the disease. 19% of its money goes to fundraising and walks which are used to increase the awareness of the disease. About 8% goes to the administrative aspect such as paying its CEO and workers. I would donate money to this group because of all that it does for the community. I know where the money would go, so that’s assurance that my money would be used wisely. -Awa L. "Help End Alzheimer's." Alzheimer's Association. Web. 10 Apr. 2017.

The mission/purpose of this charity is to make lives easier and more efficient for patients that suffer from Alzheimer's/dementia. I would personally recommend donating to this foundation. The only thing they had an "X" on was board meetings. They had 4 in 2015, but only one of them was face to face so they did not get credit for them. The way the organization uses their fundraising is 87% program, 7% fundraising, and 6% administrative. They have many fundraisers, and they only spend 5% on them compared to their profit. The foundation has been here since 2002 so they have plenty of experience. My organization does not have a rating, but based on the information given; I would give it a 4.6 out of 5. The charity is very transparent.

The purpose of the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation (LIAF) is to improve the quality of life for those living with alzheimer's disease and related forms of dementia and their families. LIAF has developed a reputation for excellent services provided by a caring and highly qualified staff. to carry out its mission, LIAF combined a supportive and welcoming environment with state-of-the-art Alzheimer's disease programs, and much more.
I would definitely donate to this foundation. Based on information from the Charity Navigator*, they not only receive copious amounts of donations, but they also contribute back to the community. Also, the government provides them with grants. The most important thing is that the program knows how to spend but save money wisely. The the LIAF has not been in debt; therefore, if I were to donate, my money would not be wasted on providing for them. According to the LIAF website*, the foundation has different programs. An example is their Brain Fitness Workshop. This workshop is not for those who have been diagnosed with said disease, but for those who want to be proactive in mainting and enhancing their cognitive functioning. The workshop sessions are said to be designed to stimulate the areas of the brain in which are sensitive to 'age-related decline'. In conclusion, the Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation is a great program that is focused on helping those with Alzheimer's within their community. *Rating for Long Island Alzheimer's Foundation.
