The Guardian Angel Thrift’s donations help fund research aimed towards identifying the root cause of Alzheimer’s and working to find cures. Thanks to our public support, we have been able to contribute $3,000,000 for Alzheimer’s Research in the state of North Carolina. Click for the GAT Alzheimer's Research Grant List

Since 2003, Guardian Angel Thrift has partnered with Dementia Alliance of NC's Research Program to fund their Research Grant Program.  In 2019, the Dementia Alliance of NC (DANC) officially named their Research Program the "Lina Mae Edwards Young Investigator Research Grant".

The Guardian Angel Thrift would never be able to accomplish this without the partnership and philanthropic spirit of our surrounding communities, our donors, and customers. For that, we are so thankful for all of our support and are optimistic about the future of Alzheimer’s research.

The Guardian Angel Thrift Endowment Fund allows donors to give funds to our research objectives. The endowment fund allows donors to give in perpetuity, meaning that all of the endowment funds remain in accounts and are used for research charity. You can donate any amount in the name of a loved one, a former teacher, a friend, or even yourself that will have a perpetual impact on the mission of ending Alzheimer’s.
