The Dr. Francis Kittredge Jr. Collaboration Fund is established to honor the memory of Francis I. Kittredge Jr., MD, the visionary founder of the American Brain Coalition (ABC). It was Dr. Kittredge’s goal to unite disease-specific patient advocacy organizations, physicians, researchers, and professional groups dedicated to the prevention, study, treatment, and cure of brain disorders. He recognized the importance of fostering dialogue between patients and the professionals who serve them.

In 2024, on ABC’s 20th anniversary, The Dr. Francis Kittredge Jr. Collaboration Fund was established to foster collaborative relationships between brain disease patient advocacy groups, professional organizations, academic institutions, industry, and government agencies. Your support enables us to expand our programming and ensure that all voices within the brain community are heard, working together to accelerate the discovery and development of treatments and cures for the devastating diseases of the brain.
