Education. Awareness. Community.
The Sanroma Foundation is beginning with a clear purpose: make reliable information easier to understand, strengthen public awareness, and build thoughtful partnerships around dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The foundation’s first work will be shaped by research, community input, caregivers, and people already serving the field.
About the foundation
The Sanroma Foundation is a registered nonprofit organization based in Greater Lowell. Its initial focus is dementia and Alzheimer’s education, public understanding, and community partnership.
The foundation is being developed carefully. Rather than launch a broad list of programs immediately, it is learning from researchers, nonprofit leaders, healthcare organizations, caregivers, and community representatives.
The goal is to identify a clear need, develop a useful response, and measure whether the work is making a difference. Over time, the foundation may consider related community priorities while maintaining a focused and responsible approach.
I do not want to create programs just to make the foundation look active. I want to understand what people actually need, then build something useful.

Our direction
The foundation is not trying to do everything at once. These are the areas being explored first.
Develop plain-language material about common changes connected to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease without making it feel clinical, impersonal, or overwhelming.
Identify local caregiver, aging, health, and memory-care resources while paying attention to the places where families still have trouble finding guidance.
Continue conversations with researchers, nonprofit leaders, university representatives, health organizations, caregivers, and community partners.
Invite a limited number of people with experience in dementia, caregiving, philanthropy, nonprofit leadership, and Greater Lowell community work.
Development
The formal nonprofit structure is in place. The current stage is about learning, building credibility, and choosing a first initiative carefully.
The Sanroma Foundation has the legal nonprofit structure needed to begin developing charitable work, partnerships, and future support.
Jason is meeting with people who understand foundations, nonprofit development, health needs, community partnerships.
The next stage is identifying a small group of people who can offer expertise, challenge assumptions, and help connect the foundation with the right organizations.
The first initiative will be selected only after the foundation can clearly explain the need, the intended impact, and why it is positioned to help.

Foundation notes
Updates are kept straightforward so the website reflects what has actually happened.
The foundation now has the formal structure needed to begin developing partnerships, future initiatives, and charitable support.
Jason met with community engagement leadership to discuss focus, measurable impact, local relationships, and the importance of learning before making grants.
The next outreach will seek practical guidance from experienced foundation and community leaders, including contacts recommended during the meeting.
