Help us empower more people to live well with dementia.
For far too many people, a dementia diagnosis feels like the end of hope. The National Council of Dementia Minds (NCDM) exists to change that. By centering the voices of people living with dementia, we provide education, tools, and peer support that empower people to live with meaning, purpose, connection, and joy.
Your gift makes these programs possible—all at no cost to participants.
At the heart of our work is our national corps of Dementia Minds groups—composed of persons living with dementia—who foster education and dialogue among individuals with dementia, care partners, healthcare providers, researchers and policymakers. In addition to providing peer support for each other, our Dementia Minds groups create practical resources and provide education led by persons living with dementia to support individuals and families impacted by dementia or mild cognitive impairment everywhere.
We need your help now more than ever. As more and more individuals seek our support, our waiting list is growing. Your donation will help NCDM expand our groups and our free educational resources for individuals with dementia, families and care partners.
Every mind matters, and every dollar counts. We welcome donations online or by check. If donating by check, please make checks payable to "National Council of Dementia Minds" and mail to: National Council of Dementia Minds, PO Box 74, Owosso, MI 48867

"Thanks to Dementia Minds, I've found friends who truly 'get me' as a person living with dementia. Together we are changing the world for the better, not just for each other, but for people with dementia everywhere." – Steven, living with CTE Dementia
"Dementia Minds is not just a support group. It is a group of friends that can talk and laugh with each other. It lets you know that you are not alone or isolated. It opens the world to you to find that other people have been down this same path. It teaches you what may be coming in the future and provides you the platform to help those that are just starting this journey." – Arnold, living with Mixed Dementia
