Who has contributed to the research fund?
About half of the research fund has come as gifts from the Kavli Foundation in the United States. In the autumn of 2015, The Research Fund of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience received a great gift from Pauline Braathen and Egil Braathen's nieces and nephew. In 2020, the foundation received a large gift from Ensliges Landsforbund due to the association’s decision to be wound up.
In addition, the foundation has received larger and smaller amounts from individuals, companies and organizations. This also includes testamentary gifts and money from funerals. The Research Fund of the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience appreciates all contributions!

To the top against Alzheimer's
May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser cheer for the project "Til Topps mot Alzheimer". The summer of 2021 we cheered Nils-Jarle Sætre through the 700 km long hike from Stad to the top of Galdhøpiggen. He went this trip in memory of his mother, Jorunn Ingerd Sætre who was affected by Alzheimer's disease. Along the way, he has met many people, struck up a conversation, and shared thoughts and stories about the disease.
Nils-Jarle also has a specific goal: He hopes to raise one million norwegian kroner for Alzheimer's research! Join us supporting the fight against Alzheimer's, and help Nils-Jarle reach his goal! Vipps to the Kavli Institute: 696680 - mark your contribution: "Til topps mot Alzheimer". Follow Nils-Jarle on Facebook: "Til topps mot Alzheimer".

Annual gift from Stjørdal Arbeiderkvinnelag
Stjørdal Arbeiderkvinnelag has gifted TFSR 10,000 NOK every year since 2015. Jorun Tyholt, Chairman of the Board of Stjørdal Arbeiderkvinnelag, says that they first became aware of the brain research at the Kavli Institute after the Nobel Prize in 2014. She says that the association mostly consists of elderly ladies who understand the importance of brain research and research on Alzheimer's and dementia. A few years ago, they were invited to the Kavli Institute, where they had a nice evening with a conducted tour and a lecture on brain research, something they really appreciated.
Ensliges Landforbund donated their fortune to Alzheimer’s research
Ensliges landsforbund, an organization supporting seniors living alone, has donated their entire fortune to research on Alzheimer's disease at the Kavli Institute.
- With an increasing elderly population, Alzheimer's is also a growing problem, says the Chairman of the Board of Ensliges Landsforbund, Marie Synnes.
The money that was donated are placed in the research fund of the Kavli Institute (TFSR) and will contribute to financial support for research in the years to come.
- Such permanent gifts make it possible to invest long-term, says May-Britt Moser. According to Marie Synnes and Ensliges Landsforbund, there no cause more deserving of support than Alzheimer's research.
