Endowment Partner Spotlight: Alzheimer and Parkinson Association of IRC

The Alzheimer and Parkinson Association of Indian River County is a 501c(3) non profit organization that provides free services and programs to families that are living with memory or movement disorders. This organization started over 40 years ago as a support group for caregivers and has blossomed into a provider of over 45 programs and services, all free for those in need. The Alzheimer and Parkinson Association strives to be a safe space for families to come to, judgement free and with a welcoming atmosphere. Programs and services they provide include: support groups, educational classes, memory programs, movement classes, virtual programs, activity kits, a library, dementia training, memory screenings, resources, and much more.

The building that houses Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of Indian River County is being redeveloped providing the organization with the opportunity to move to a different section of the building. The planned improvements will provide long-term benefits to the community and enhance their programs by creating a well-designed, efficient space under a 10-year lease agreement.

The Alzheimer & Parkinson Association is also a part of our Endowment Partners Program (EPP).  The purpose of the EPP is to help local charities plan for their long-term sustainability by growing a permanent endowment fund. During a 12-month program, participants learn about endowments, planned giving, investment management and marketing solutions that inspire loyal donors to make planned gifts from their estates. The program is coordinated by IRCF team member Yamilet Cendejas.
