Shape The Future Of Diagnostics With SalivaDirect Inc.

New solutions in diagnostic testing are needed to empower the public with information about their health.  Your donation will help support SalivaDirect, Inc.’s groundbreaking research and programs on affordable diagnostic tests and strategies to ensure everyone has access to the care that they need.

Monthly giving supports our programmatic operations, including:

Placement of vending machines to increase access to on-demand testing for diverse populations across the United States.

Deployment of our innovative “laboratory-in-a-van” which brings diagnostic testing directly to underserved communities in partnership with community-based organizations.

International capacity-building projects with laboratories around the globe.

Paid internship opportunities to train the next generation of leaders and strengthen the public health and diagnostics workforce.

Conducting research and development into new, low-cost diagnostics.

Make a Difference for Just $5 a Month

Join our community of monthly supporters today and be a part of the change to make diagnostic testing accessible to all. A donation of even just $5 a month entirely covers the cost of a diagnostic test for an uninsured person accessing testing through our programs.

With backing from the National Institutes of Health, we have successfully spun out from Yale University into an independent 501(c)3 organization.

SalivaDirect, Inc. is a public health nonprofit that works to build accessible testing strategies. We are developing and deploying innovative solutions that respond to evolving global health challenges. To ensure our sustainability, we are looking to build our community of supporters.
