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. Your gifts make this possible.
Your support helps VeDA continue to provide information and support to countless vestibular patients and expand our advocacy efforts so we can help reduce diagnosis times and improve treatment outcomes. VeDA has been a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization since 1987; your donations are tax-deductible. We are small and lean, so every cent you give makes a difference!
By making a tax-deductible donation you help:
All donors who give $50+ receive a subscription to On the Level, VeDA’s quarterly magazine. 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.

If you are a vestibular healthcare professional you can get patient referrals by joining VeDA's provider directory. One referral pays for your membership. Promote your specialized skills by including your certifications, training, professional associations, and more.
"I (have) clients that found me through VeDA's Provider Directory. I refer my patients or anybody that (has) experienced vertigo/dizziness to (their) website. It is very helpful, and I'm glad to have this resource." - Uli Reynolds, PT.

Individuals age 70 ½ and older must take Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) from their IRA each year. Did you know that you can donate up to $100,000/year from your IRA to a charitable organization tax-free? A Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) is a direct contribution to VeDA from your IRA, which can satisfy the RMD without having to report additional income on your personal tax return.
Everyone’s tax situation is different. If you are considering a charitable contribution to VeDA from your IRA, we recommend consulting a tax advisor to see if it is right for you.
How do I make a QCD donation to VeDA? Contact your IRA custodian (e.g. Fidelity or Charles Schwab) and request an electronic transfer or check be made out to the Vestibular Disorders Association (tax ID: 93-0914340). Contact VeDA if you have additional questions (503-294-9085 or [email protected]).
