MIND Institute

Join us to support the MIND Institute during Give Day 2025

Started by families for families affected by neurodevelopmental conditions, the UC Davis MIND Institute is a world-renowned collaborative research and clinical center committed to the awareness, understanding, prevention, and treatment of neurodevelopmental challenges, including those associated with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, fragile X syndrome, Down syndrome, and many rare genetic conditions.

We hope you consider supporting the UC Davis MIND Institute this Give Day. Your generosity will help the MIND Institute lead the march forward to create a world where individuals with neurodevelopmental differences face less adversity, encounter fewer struggles, and are offered more significant resources for a lifetime.

This Give Day, each gift moves us one step closer to reaching our goals! Your contribution will help unlock challenge gifts from Give Day challenge sponsors. Your gift to support the Fragile X research fund or the FXTAS (Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome) Research Fund challenge will support the MIND Institute’s innovative research efforts, which will help individuals and families living with FMR1-related conditions, including Fragile X syndrome (FXS), FXTAS, an “adult-onset” neurodegenerative disorder affecting carriers of Fragile X Syndrome, and Fragile X-associated primary ovarian insufficiency (FXPOI), as well as other premutation conditions.

Donations to any MIND Institute funds fuel transformational research, clinical care, and educational programs that improve access and quality of care, increase understanding and awareness, develop effective therapies and support programs, and uncover vital information about causes and risk factors.

You may make a one-time or recurring gift today by selecting the Fragile X Research Fund, the FXTAS Research Fund, or one of the other critical MIND Institute funds.
