Fox Foundation and many others.

American Brain Foundation (ABF) was founded in 1992 as part of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), the world’s largest professional association of neurologists with more than 40,000 members, and subsequently spun off as an independent 501c3 nonprofit organization.

The next Executive Director will manage this growth, and will in the process scale the organization’s board, staff, programs, partner and donor relationships, fundraising and its public profile.
