Its mission is to defend the quality of life of people affected by Alzheimer's disease or other dementias, as well as that of their family members. It was founded in 1991 with the vocation of becoming the spokesperson and defender of families living in Gipuzkoa who are affected by this illness.

Its presence and growth are described as the result of the dedication of relatives, professionals, volunteers and collaborators who have supported the organization since its creation. AFAGI presents itself as a "solidarity social movement" alongside the people who suffer the consequences of the disease. Its motto, "Ante el Alzheimer, no estás solo/a" ("In the face of Alzheimer's, you are not alone"), is described as a direct slogan and a working philosophy that summarizes the true essence of AFAGI and that the organization wishes to extend and maintain whenever anyone needs its support. The association operates in the Basque language and Spanish, reflecting its location in the Basque Country.
