Your support matters!
For over 30 years, VeDA has helped vestibular patients and the healthcare professionals who treat them. Our vision is a world where vestibular disorders are widely understood, rapidly diagnosed, and effectively treated so patients can restore balance and regain life.

VeDA has been a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization since 1987, so donations are tax-deductible, and every cent makes a difference!
Ways to Give
By making a tax-deductible donation you help:
- Provide clear, objective information to people with limited energy.
- Provide affordable support services to people with limited income.
- Provide referrals to vestibular healthcare specialists so that people can get an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.

All donors receive a subscription to On the Level, VeDA’s quarterly newsletter. Each edition includes patient stories, coping tips, research summaries, and event announcements.
I felt so alone in learning and coping with my illness, but VeDA’s newsletter, On the Level, helped me. I have kept every one and refer back to them when I need support and guidance. – Meg K.
