The Margaret Ethel Jew Fund was first established in 2017 by the Jew family, who donated $100,000 for Dementia Research at the Brain and Mind Centre in memory of Margaret Ethel Jew. An annual stipend of $5000 is awarded to an affiliated researcher, with the ambition to support research into causation, treatment and the prevention of dementia. This annual award has produced numerous successful insights into our understanding and potential treatment options towards dementia.
