Ginny Gives Awards
2026 Applications
NOW CLOSED
Ginny Gives®, named in honor of Ginny J., a vivacious woman known for her warm ways and never-ending smile, is a set of engaging life-enrichment programs, awards, and initiatives of the Dementia Society of America (DSA).
Ginny's journey through her Dementia while maintaining an effervescent smile always inspired her family, caregivers, friends, and even passersby, and was the inspiration for the Dementia Society of America itself. See the video here:
The objective of our Awards Program is to enhance the quality of life for those living with Dementia, their care partners, and the public at large by providing recognition for programs and activities delivered chiefly, but not exclusively, by nonprofit organizations within the Dementia community, primarily in these categories: Music, Visual Arts, Dance/Movement, Touch/Sensory Stimulation, and more.
