Support DEC Efforts

For over 24 years, National DEC has been offering help, hope and support to children affected by legal or illegal substance misuse or drug activity. They are often the first affected and last provided with services. They are our future.

Our DEC alliance and DEC effort partners can support expanding DEC training, technical assistance, resources and support to under-resourced, under-served or marginalized populations by donating now. CLICK HERE to make a one-time or monthly recurring donation.

Double your donation. Some organizations offer a matching donation to their employees’ donations. Check to see if your organization offers donation matching. National DEC is registered with Benevity, a giving platform that receives organization matching donations and passes them to the organization receiving the donation. National DEC is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and provides the appropriate acknowledgement for all donations.
