HELP US BREAK THE SILENCE
BECOME AN ANNUAL SPONSOR
The sponsorship program not only helps EDF raise much-needed funds but also enables us to convey information about the perils of eating disorders to a wide audience.
Your year-long sponsorship allows EDF to offer all of its services free of charge to individuals around the world. Join us as we strive to break the silence surrounding eating disorders and to rebuild lives this illness threatens to shatter.
Our mission
“to be an effective resource in the prevention and elimination of eating disorders through education, support, and advocacy.”
The Eating Disorder Foundation (EDF) was founded in 2003 to meet a long-overdue need in the Denver mental health community, providing free support to those with eating disorders, those in recovery, and their families and friends. EDF has been growing steadily in its dual focus on education (breaking the silence) and support (rebuilding lives).
It is a free, non-clinical resource based in Colorado – one of very few – that is accessible to everyone, regardless of age, income, insurance, health status, weight, diagnosis, race, gender, or sexual identity.
Our impact
In 2023,
- 2,034 individuals signed up for support groups, compared to just 337 new members in 2018
- 23 support and discussion groups
- 376 applications for a peer mentor
