With your help, we can empower more people to live well with dementia.
The National Council of Dementia Minds (NCDM) is the first national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded and governed by persons living with dementia. Our groundbreaking mission is to develop and support a national corps of Dementia Minds groups—composed of persons living with dementia—who foster education and dialogue among individuals with neurocognitive disorders, care partners, families, healthcare providers, researchers, policymakers and communities at large.
Dedicated to ensuring that people with dementia have a powerful voice in both personal and public conversations, NCDM stands out by challenging stigma and offering hope-filled strategies and resources to support living well with dementia.
In addition to providing peer support for persons living with dementia, our Dementia Minds groups provide education led by persons living with dementia and create resources that empower individuals, families and care partners, demonstrating that life with dementia can be lived fully—with meaning, purpose and connection.
Since our inception in 2019, we have provided educational opportunities through our programs to more than 20,000 people across all 50 states and 14 countries, at no cost to participants.
We rely on donors like you to provide these services. Our waiting list continues to grow as more people living with dementia seek our support. Your donation will help NCDM establish new Dementia Minds groups and expand our free educational resources for individuals with dementia, families and care partners.
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 342, Alma, MI 48801
"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 Frontotemporal Dementia
"Being a part of Dementia Minds has given me a sense of belonging. This group understands the unique challenges of living with young onset dementia, and we encourage each other to face this disease with faith and grace. I love the fact that we are like-minded people in this fight!" – Nia, living with young-onset Alzheimer’s and CTE
