A Letter from
Our Founder
Dear Friends,
The Sanroma Foundation was created from a personal commitment to a cause that has touched my family and far too many others: Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. I believe every family deserves clarity, compassion, and support, and that research and education are essential to creating a future with more hope.
Although 2026 is our first year as a nonprofit organization, we have laid the foundation for long-term impact. This year was dedicated to building our structure, clarifying our mission, and establishing the relationships that will help us make a difference in the years ahead.
We are focused on three priorities: advancing research, expanding education and awareness, and supporting families and caregivers with practical resources.
With gratitude,
Jason M. Sanroma
Founder & President
The strongest foundations are built one step at a time. Our first year was dedicated to building an organization that can create lasting impact for generations to come.

Our First Year
2026 marked the beginning of The Sanroma Foundation. What began as an idea to create a lasting organization focused on Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, education, and family support became an officially recognized nonprofit.
The Foundation was formally established to build an organization capable of creating meaningful, long-term impact.
The Internal Revenue Service recognized the Foundation as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) public charity, creating the foundation for charitable giving, grant funding, partnerships, and future programming.
Early outreach included communication with the Office of the Chancellor at UMass Lowell, opening conversations around the Foundation and opportunities for future engagement.
The Foundation began developing the infrastructure needed to grow responsibly, including its website, public communications, charitable giving, grant development, organizational planning, and this inaugural annual report.
