Be a Champion of Health and Hope

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) doesn’t just hurt individuals—it affects entire families, workplaces, and communities. Click here to learn what alcohol harms costs us all.

Right now, your donation to CAUDS will fund out most urgent priorities:

• Prevention that stops harm before it starts

• Access to new knowledge on treatments that shift mindsets and save lives

• Support people to seek care and support them along their care journey

With your help, we’ll address the harms alcohol causes to individuals and families, expand access to recovery, reduce stigma, and collaborate with partners to empower communities. Join us in strengthening families and building communities free from alcohol-related harm.

One Time Gift

  • Your donation to CAUDS has a direct impact on the health, safety and quality of life for people struggling with alcohol use. CAUDS provides interventions and new knowledge that strengthens community capacity, shifts social norms around alcohol, and builds long-term change that reduces the risk of alcohol harms.

    Examples of where your donations go:

    $25 = Outreach resources for 1 family

    $100 = 1 community workshop on AUD prevention

    $500 = Training for physicians, prescribers and medical professionals on new AUD treatment options.

    Your gift could be the reason someone finds hope, a family finds healing, and a community finds strength. Thank you for being a champion of health and hope.
