Alzheimer Society of Durham Region depends on the generosity of the people in our community. With one of the largest dementia populations in the province, demand for our support and education program is increasing. Donations to the Society help us to meet that demand so that we can provide our broad range of services.

Donations made to the Society benefit our education and support programs. They also benefit national research initiatives into the cause and cure for Alzheimer Disease. Donor information is kept confidential and is never shared. We also ensure that donor's receive tax receipts in a timely fashion. There are several ways you can make a donation to the Society.
