As a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, all donations go directly to providing our services and/or to the donation’s designated funds. Envisioned by our leaders, ADEC is in a historic transition of self-management, whereby we are empowered more than ever to strengthen our services, outreach, and operational systems.
These gifts empower ADEC’s ability to uphold its longstanding commitment and devoted efforts to advance the body of knowledge and to promote practical applications of research and theory in thanatology.
Your generosity supports ADEC’s excellence and diversity in death education, care of the dying, grief counseling, and research in thanatology. Our global membership includes members from six continents and more than 30 countries. Based on quality research, theory, and practice, ADEC provides information, support, and resources to our multicultural, multidisciplinary membership, and to the public.
