Alzheimer's Arkansas

What Alzheimer's Arkansas does

Alzheimer's Arkansas, legally registered as Alzheimer's Arkansas Programs and Services, is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 71-0590114) founded in 1984 and headquartered at 201 Markham Center Drive in Little Rock, Arkansas. The organization's sole functional focus is delivering free caregiver support services to unpaid family members caring for individuals with dementia, chronic illness, or debilitating disease across the state of Arkansas. Core programmatic offerings include caregiver educational workshops (Hope Caregiver Workshops), monthly community brunch-and-learn events, in-person and virtual support groups (including the Coffee with Caregivers Zoom forum), three distinct financial grant programs (a $500 Dementia Caregiver Respite Grant funded under Act 391 of the 93rd General Assembly, a $500 CareLink Caregiver Support Grant funded via Federal Title III, and a Family Assistance Program Grant), the 'I Didn't Sign Up For This' award-winning podcast, the Silver Alert program, the Dementia Experience/Super Noggin simulation, Dementia Friends training, and downloadable tools including the Carebinder and Memory Book. All programs and services are provided at no cost to caregivers.

The organization operates as a multi-channel service delivery platform spanning physical locations across Arkansas (Little Rock, Conway, Hot Springs, Russellville, Batesville, Cabot, Pine Bluff, Benton, Searcy, Harrison, Stuttgart, and others), virtual/online channels (Zoom, podcast on Spotify, website resources, downloadable PDFs), phone support via a 24/7 hotline (501-224-0021), and printed materials distributed by mail. Revenue is generated through four streams: tax-deductible donations (one-time, monthly, and planned giving), government grants (state via the Alzheimer's and Dementia Advisory Council and federal Title III funds through CareLink), fundraising events (Walking on Sunshine Walks, H2GO Runs, Golf Tournament, Night of Lights, AMP OUT ALZ, Boots & Bling Champions Celebration), and a Kroger Community Rewards affiliate program (organization number 80727). The entity has no parent company, no subsidiaries, no venture or private equity backing, and is governed by a Board of Directors and Executive Committee, with Kimberly Kinder currently serving as Interim Executive Director following a leadership transition.

Operationally, the organization maintains extensive institutional partnerships that function as both service delivery and revenue channels, including strategic alliances with UAMS Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging, the Arkansas Department of Human Services, CareLink (Central Arkansas Area Agency on Aging), the Arkansas Legislative Council/Alzheimer's and Dementia Advisory Council, Arkansas Federal Credit Union (2026 State Ambassador), Elder Independence Home Care (podcast underwriter), Hospice Home Care, Landmark CPAs, and Pinnacle IT. While the organization does not disclose specific revenue figures, operational metrics highlighted on its platform include thousands of caregiver touches in 2025, multiple monthly support groups, dozens of community speaking engagements, and 6,687 Facebook followers, indicating a substantial and sustained service footprint across the state.
