Get involved

Feel the reward of giving.

Please become a member of our Circle of Support! Your donations and volunteerism have a direct impact on the over 500 individuals and caregivers served annually by Hearts & Minds with critical respite care, counseling and education for our families living with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

Donate

One Time or recurring donations: The number of people with Alzheimer’s disease will double by 2030. Your financial support will keep us on track to meet the growing needs persons living with dementia now and in the future.

Legacy Giving: Did you know we can also accept non-cash and legacy gifts? For example, including us as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or annuities is one way for you to offer legacy support. Gifts through wills and trusts or giving directly from your IRA are other ideas for continuing your support. Many gift options offer the benefit of tax savings.

“Witnessing first-hand the terrible effects of memory loss in my own family has inspired me to support Hearts & Minds Activity Center. I am proud to be a donor to such an important organization.”
