The Fundación Pasqual Maragall, based in Barcelona runs the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center, which focuses on biomarkers, diagnosis and preventive strategies for Alzheimer’s. The centre works with healthcare institutions on studies to identify early signs of the disease and trial preventive approaches. For World Alzheimer’s Day the foundation regularly organises public events to bring together awareness and funding for research and care.
The bank points to its recurring partnerships with healthcare organisations. The partners’ announcements give no specific fundraising target or amounts already pledged for the current campaign. A reliable assessment of its impact will therefore depend on the total raised and on transparent, earmarked use of the funds in ongoing or new projects.

Details of the dates, ways to donate and involvement of the Barcelonaβeta Brain Research Center come from announcements by CaixaBank and the Fundación Pasqual Maragall issued on 18 September 2026. The participating institutions are based mainly in Barcelona; donation options are available nationwide to customers and the general public in Spain.
