Stand with the African American Diabetes Association to fund education, prevention, and support for our communities, caregivers, and families.

4 Reasons

Why you should donate to the African American Diabetes Association:

Target a Disproportionately Affected Community: African Americans are significantly more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than other races. Your donation helps the African American Diabetes Association (AADA) focus resources and programs specifically tailored to the needs of this community.
Culturally Relevant Education and Support: The AADA understands the unique challenges faced by Black Americans when it comes to diabetes management. Donations allow us to develop culturally-relevant educational materials and support networks that resonate better with the Black community.
Fight for Health Equity: The AADA fights for health equity, ensuring that everyone has access to quality healthcare, regardless of race or background. Your donation supports their advocacy efforts to dismantle systemic barriers that contribute to higher diabetes rates in Black communities.
Long-term cost savings: By investing in preventative measures and early intervention, the AADA helps reduce the long-term economic burden of diabetes on individuals, families, and the healthcare system. This translates to a more sustainable and efficient use of resources in the long run.
