The UW Medicine Memory and Brain Wellness Center is dedicated to promoting the wellbeing of people living with memory loss — and those of their families — through exceptional care and innovative research. We owe much of what we achieve to the support of a generous community — to the support of people like you.
Donations help support patient- and family-centered care, breakthroughs in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease research, and the training of tomorrow’s physicians. And by giving — perhaps in gratitude for care, or in memory of a loved one — you can help improve the lives of your friends, your family, and your region.
If you would like to be our partner in enhancing health and changing lives, we recommend one of the funds listed below. Or, if you would like to learn more about giving to the UW Medicine Memory and Brain Wellness Center, please contact the UW Medicine Advancement Office at 206-543-5686
Our Priority Funds
You can make a gift to these funds online, or you can write a check. Directions — and information about tribute giving — can be found below the fund listing.
The UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center Fund
The center strives to provide compassionate care and develop new treatment strategies for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related neurodegenerative diseases that lead to dementia. Your donation will help patients and caregivers dealing with memory issues ranging from mild cognitive impairment to advanced dementia. Your gift also supports our center’s efforts in dementia-friendly community outreach and education.
The Memory Hub: A Place for Dementia-Friendly Community, Collaboration, and Impact
In 2021, the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center (MBWC) is proud to launch a new initiative on Seattle’s First Hill: The Memory Hub. Bringing together people, programs and partners, the Memory Hub will operate as a vibrant dementia-focused programs and events venue, collaborative workspace and training center. It will be conveniently located just a few blocks from the memory clinic at Harborview Medical Center and beside the Frye Art Museum, welcoming visitors year-round to explore what it means to live well with dementia.
