Support Alzheimer’s Research with Guardian Angel Thrift

Donations to Guardian Angel Thrift help fund critical research into the causes and potential cures for Alzheimer’s disease. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we have contributed over $3.5 million to Alzheimer’s research in North Carolina.

From 2003 to 2025, we partnered with the Dementia Alliance of North Carolina to support the Lina Mae Edwards Young Investigator Research Grant, empowering emerging researchers to advance the fight against Alzheimer’s.

In 2026, the Board of Directors decided to make direct commitments to NC Research Institutions.
