Talent also depends on cognitive health
FRMV promotes cognitive health in organizations and funds research projects aimed at curing Alzheimer's. Memory, judgment, and the experience of people are part of a company's cognitive capital. Without them, it is difficult to sustain talent and competitiveness.
Over 90% of the value of S&P 500 companies corresponds to intangible assets (Ocean Tomo, 2025). Part of that value lies in the people who make decisions, remember processes, and pass on knowledge to the team.
The brain changes associated with Alzheimer's can appear up to 20 years before the first symptoms, when many people are still in the midst of their working lives. Up to 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors (The Lancet Commission, 2024).
FRMV Brain Alliance proposes acting on two fronts: bringing cognitive health closer to teams and funding scientific research to cure Alzheimer's.
A social commitment that can be measured
FRMV Brain Alliance brings together companies that collaborate on an ongoing basis with the Fundación Rosa María Vivar. Cognitive health contributes to the sustainability report through actions with indicators, aligned with SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) and SDG 4 (Quality Education).
Well-being and prevention
Training in habits that protect cognitive health. Indicator: people trained.
Senior talent
Professional longevity and retention of experienced profiles.
Organizational memory
Transmission of critical knowledge between generations within the company.
Research with a purpose
Contribution to an identifiable scientific project, with tracking of its milestones and a donation certificate.
HOW WE OPERATE
Caring for teams and
funding research
Cognitive Health Program
Audiovisual capsules explaining how the brain works, how to care for it, and how to prevent its decline. They are presented by Dr. Marta Portero and are backed by the scientific endorsement of the UAB and the Institut de Neurociències. Each person accesses them individually through the Foundation's digital campus.
Global Call
A national call for proposals endowed with €160,000 to fund preclinical research aimed at new pharmacological strategies against Alzheimer's. An independent scientific committee evaluates the projects, and the Foundation tracks their milestones.
More than 90% of every euro reaches the laboratory
Each company knows the project or research line it contributes to. It also knows how progress is tracked: through milestones and information on the use of resources. The Foundation provides progress reports that can be incorporated into the company's sustainability report.
Three levels of commitment, one seal
Each level includes everything in the previous one. Before formalizing the agreement, the Foundation defines with each company the access, visibility, and monitoring involved.

Tax advantages of Law
49/2002 on patronage
Companies can deduct 40% of their contribution from their Corporate Tax bill. The percentage rises to 50% if they have donated to the Foundation in the two previous fiscal years. The deduction is capped at 15% of the taxable base, and any excess can be applied over the following 10 years. The Foundation issues the donation certificate.
Figures based on the regulations in force in 2026. Each company should confirm them with its tax advisor.
