Who We Are
Death with Dignity is a national nonprofit organization that advocates for end-of-life care policy reform. Our mission is advanced through both the Death with Dignity National Center, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, and Death with Dignity Political Fund, a 501(c)(4) advocacy organization.
For over 30 years, our organization has championed the freedom of choice in life and death. We authored and passed the first Death with Dignity Act in Oregon and led efforts to enact similar statutes in multiple states. This year, we are driving legislative campaigns in several states nationwide.
Seven in ten Americans support Death with Dignity as an end-of-life option for the terminally ill, and most people join our movement because of a heartbreaking personal experience. We are an organization led by social workers and powered by storytelling.
