Mission
The mission of the Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF)
is to rapidly accelerate the discovery of drugs to prevent, treat and
cure Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias and cognitive aging.
Approach
Founded in 1998 by co-chairmen Leonard A. and Ronald S. Lauder
of the Estée Lauder cosmetics family, the ADDF provides funding
to leading scientists who are conducting the most promising,
innovative Alzheimer’s drug research worldwide.
Our goal is to provide seed funding for early-stage drug research
that may otherwise go unfunded. By supporting cutting edge,
diverse, novel research projects around the globe, we increase the
chance of finding a cure.
100% of your donation goes directly to Alzheimer’s drug
research and related programs. All of the ADDF’s administrative
and overhead costs are covered by a private foundation.
Many of the ADDF’s grants are structured as investments,
providing a return that is reinvested in new drug research.
Impact
The ADDF has invested nearly $60 million to fund over 400
Alzheimer’s drug discovery programs and clinical trials in
academic centers and biotechnology companies in 18 countries.

Thanks to your support and generosity, 2012 was a year of significant growth for the Alzheimer’s DrugDiscovery Foundation:
� We raised $9.2 million for research towards finding a cure, funding 37 scientific grants worldwide.One hundred percent of your contributions went directly to fund Alzheimer’s drug discovery andrelated programs.
� The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Amyvid™, the first diagnostic test forAlzheimer’s and other causes of cognitive decline. ADDF provided the critical seed funding neededto launch the test’s early development.
� The ADDF/Belfer ApoE Therapeutics Innovation Program funded 3 projects to develop new drugstargeting Apolipoprotein E — a significant genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s.
� We funded 6 human clinical studies via our Program to Accelerate Clinical Trials (PACT), withspecial thanks to major support from Nancy and Mel Goodes, The Charles Evans Foundation andThe W. Garfield Weston Foundation.
� The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a $7.9 million grant to Suzanne Craft, PhD,at the University of Washington for a five-year clinical trial to evaluate an insulin nasal spray inAlzheimer’s patients. ADDF provided the critical early support for Dr. Craft’s program leading to thisextended study.
� We registered our first international affiliate, ADDF-Canada, to expand funding for promising clinicaltrials in Canada.
� We hosted 2 international scientific conferences and held several signature events across thecountry. Gala highlights included honoring Nancy Reagan and fashion designer Carolina Herrera atour Great Ladies Luncheon and Fashion Show in Washington, DC and hosting an inaugural Hope on theHorizon Chicago Dinner with a special performance by legendary singer and guitarist Glen Campbelland his family.
There has never been a greater need for the ADDF. We received over 400 requests for funding new drugsfrom academic scientists and biotechnology companies across the world in 2012, up almost 40% from 2011.
Thank you for your continued commitment — with your help, we can move quickly towards conqueringthis disease.

Promise ThroughDrugs
The ADDF is committed to investing in a diverse portfolio of research programsand strengthening our network of partnerships until we discover a cure.
The ADDF focuses its funding entirely on preclinical drug discovery researchand early-stage clinical trials involving new drug targets that hold greatpromise but may not be far enough along in the drug development pipeline toreceive financial support from the pharmaceutical industry, investors or otherpartners. The ADDF bridges this critical gap in funding between basic researchand later stage drug development, enabling the scientific pursuit of manyinnovative and novel therapies that might otherwise go unexplored.
Our Funding Model — Venture Philanthropy
The ADDF is a biomedical venture philanthropy. Most of our grants arestructured as mission-related investments, providing a return that isreinvested in new drug research. From more than $14 million investedin biotechnology programs, $2.8 million has been returned to date andimmediately reinvested in new drug research programs. Subsequent tothe ADDF’s initial funding, our grantees have received commitments of over$2 billion in follow-on funding from government, pharmaceutical companiesand venture capital firms to further advance their drug research.
100% of your donation goes directly to Alzheimer’s drug researchand related programs.
ADDF's focus on drug discovery is unique.

Spotlight onAmyvid
In 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Amyvid™, the first diagnostictest for Alzheimer’s disease. The ADDF provided crucial seed funding for the research ofAmyvid from 2000-2004. This successful technology is an important proof-of-concept for theADDF model, showcasing how early financial support for high-risk projects can lead to andaccelerate the development of innovative drugs and diagnostics in Alzheimer’s.
Brain scan images will appear blurry.
“ADDF's research support and commitment hasbeen critical to the development of amyloid imagingtechnology. These are important assets in both researchand clinical settings to identify beta-amyloid plaques,a neuropathological feature of Alzheimer’s disease.
Thanks to amyloid imaging agents like Amyvid and otherrelated biomarkers, the field can now attempt preventiontrials of Alzheimer’s— trials conducted under largepublic-private partnerships—designed to test whetherearly detection and early intervention can actuallyprevent the onset of symptoms.We hope this area ofresearch, enabled by early investment from theADDF,provides answers for patients and their loved ones.”

Support Alzheimer’s Research
Alzheimer’s is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disease and the most common
cause of dementia. There are currently no drugs available that prevent or even slow its
course, but scientists are making measurable progress towards finding treatments.
In 2012, an estimated 5.4 million Americans suffered from Alzheimer’s; by 2050, that
number is expected to triple. With an aging population and increasing number of people
with Alzheimer’s, it is critical we continue to invest in research and discover a cure.
There is hope in drug discovery. With your support, we can and will understand,
prevent and conquer this disease.
