Membership Opportunities
The Bravewell Collaborative is an operating foundation comprised of people from a variety of backgrounds who work together in partnership with medical leaders across the nation to promote the principles of integrative medicine. Members are dedicated to best practices in philanthropy, to strategic programs with high impact, and to growth and learning.
Members' donations to this operating foundation receive maximum deductibility. Unique governance structures and respect for differing interests have resulted in great flexibility in giving for its members.
The Bravewell Collaborative is looking to welcome a limited number of philanthropists with good hearts and minds who are committed to the Bravewell Collaborative's mission, to each other as working partners, and to the principles outlined in the Declaration For a New Medicine. The Bravewell Collaborative is also seeking Partners, Associates and Friends who would like to join this important and challenging initiative to transform healthcare.
Becoming part of the Bravewell Collaborative community offers
philanthropists a chance to work side by side with like-minded people
to help transform healthcare and return the soul to medicine. The work
itself is deeply gratifying, but so, too, are the community and
friendship that members enjoy when they are part of the Bravewell
Collaborative circle. Members gather twice a year to review progress and plan for the
future. During these meetings, members engage with leading
physicians and top healthcare officials from across the nation;
participate in continuous learning about integrative medicine; and
enjoy the satisfaction of seeing their philanthropy yield far-reaching
results.
