You Make This Work Possible
AFTD’s work has always been community-driven.
Only together can we realize our shared vision: a world with compassionate care, effective support, and a future free of FTD.
Our priorities over the next three years are:
Diagnosis and Treatment
Quality Care and Support
Advocacy and Awareness
Infrastructure and Sustainability
We can’t do this without you.
Together, we will pave the path forward to help all on this journey and end FTD.
“AFTD is so many things - education, support, awareness, and research. Never in my life have I worked with another organization that has the passion and conviction that AFTD does, and for everything and everyone affected. I've never felt more valued, and I truly feel what I do matters and will make a difference for the next family.”
- Amber Steed, an AFTD Ambassador and former caregiver to her husband, brad, who had behavioral variant FTD
“I think the biggest issue we have with FTD is that it's often misdiagnosed. Families endure a lot of confusion in the early phases, which is why we have to keep talking about the disease, sharing our stories, and looking for answers on how we can prevent FTD from happening. I am so excited that we have an organization that focuses on FTD - any type of awareness I can contribute or do to help families is why I love to volunteer.”
