Contribute to IDAA

IDAA seeks your help to carry its message! Since its inception, the IDAA Central Office has been supported by a portion of the registration fees from the annual meeting. In keeping with the AA traditions in which we have no dues or fees, there are expenses, however, beyond the amount of financial support from meeting fees.

Contributions are gratefully accepted to the following IDAA Funds:

GENERAL FUND - This fund supports Central Office daily operations under the direction of the Executive Director. The Central Office mission is to:

  • Maintain the confidential database of all members of IDAA.
  • Serve as a central contact for health care professionals and their families to find immediate help through other members in recovery.
  • Maintain the IDAA.org web site.
  • Promote outreach services to health care disciplines.
  • Provide annual meeting registration.
  • Accept donations from the general membership.

SCHOLARSHIP FUND - Contributions to this fund are used entirely by the current annual meeting committee to provide scholarship aid for new, early-in-sobriety members to attend their first IDAA meeting. The fund is also used to help our longer-sober AA and Al-Anon members, who suffer occasional financial hurdles, to attend IDAA.

LUKE REED MEMORIAL FUND - This fund, established in 1987 in his memory, has been used to memorialize many other members as well. Interest earned from the fund is used by the annual meeting committee to supplement scholarship funds.

IDAA is recognized by the Internal Revenue Service as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax deductible.
