Overview

Mission

To respond to the needs of people in New Jersey who are affected by alzheimer's disease and other dementias, by providing programs and community partnerships that increase awareness and access to services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Alzheimer's New Jersey provides the following family education and services:1) helpline - our helpline is a professionally staffed, toll-free contact center that provides callers with personal and confidential assistance about alzheimer's and dementia, and available community resources.2) care consultations - care consultations offer the opportunity for individuals with dementia, families and caregivers to receive personalized, in-depth guidance.3) respite care and wellness programs - our respite care and wellness program is designed to provide family caregivers with information and education about the importance of regular time-off from care-giving, and help link them to available community-based respite care resources.4) family support groups - family support group programs are always free and open to the community. Support groups provide families and caregivers with the emotional support and education they need to better understand alzheimer's disease and dementia.5) always safe - always safe is a safety awareness program designed for individuals with alzheimer's disease and dementia who are at greater risk for personal safety issues due to their impairment in memory and cognition.6) clinical trial connections - the program helps individuals and families interested in participating in a clinical trial find out more about the available trial programs in and around the communities where they live.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 84% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
