Dementia changes everything—not just for the person diagnosed, but for everyone who loves and cares for them. When you give to the Dementia Society of America® (DSA), you become part of a support system that helps families feel less alone, less overwhelmed, and more hopeful.
How Your Financial Support Helps
Your gift brings hope and an immediate impact because DSA is a volunteer-driven, grassroots nonprofit. Instead of mountains of red tape and multiple layers of bureaucratic administration, we are nimble and target $0.70 of every $1.00 to be spent directly on mission-related programs that make a difference:
Caregiver Support: Many caregivers are family members who never expected to become full-time helpers. Your donation funds education, awareness, online support programs, and easy-to-understand resources that guide them through challenging moments—like how to communicate kindly or manage stress.
Monthly eNews: concise, helpful information selected especially for overwhelmed caregivers and busy care professionals.
Trusted Information: Families often search online late at night, scared and confused. Your support keeps DSA’s website accurate and up-to-date, replacing fear with clarity.
Operation KeepSafe®: A wearable identification program designed to address the risks associated with critical wandering and elopement (leaving one's home undetected), as well as increase safety in the home and caregiver peace of mind.
Community Programs: Initiatives such as Dementia ENRICH, Dementia SMART®, and Dementia CARER® awards recognize and fund creative, non-medical efforts, such as music, art, movement, and touch, that improve daily life, stimulate engagement, and promote the dignity of those living with Dementia, and their care partners.
Research Through Dementia QUEST®: Your gift helps fund seed grants at leading teaching hospitals—small investments that can spark big discoveries for better care and future breakthroughs.
Helpful Brain Health Information: Our popular magazine, Better Brain Nation®, supports families, professionals, and communities with cognitively-engaging ideas and activities to foster a brain-healthy lifestyle, along with links to the latest noteworthy brain research.
Why It Matters: Your Gift Brings Hope
Every donation helps someone feel seen, supported, and stronger. It helps a caregiver keep going. It helps a family find answers. It helps progress begin.
