Firefly is a charitable organization that funds research and develops initiatives with a mission to prolong brain health.
Our funding supports the Centre for Research in Neurodegenerative Disease at the University of Toronto in research to find a cure for Alzheimer’s.
Our Spark Award provides Post-Doctoral Researchers with a grant early in their career, when finding funding can be most challenging.
We also sponsor the Toronto Brain Bee - a competition which tests high school students’ knowledge of the brain and neuroscience.
Our Bright Lights program encourages high school students to explore the fields of neuroscience, medicine and research and become the bright lights of the future.
We are currently developing new programs that will increase awareness in all students – the future scientists, artists, writers, business leaders, athletes – about the importance of making sure their brains will last a life time.
