Support the mission

Rebuild the future tense, together.

MyWhatIf is an applied research nonprofit building and testing a new path for trauma recovery built on hope, agency and purpose. Philanthropy is catalytic here. It builds the evidence, safety systems, measurement and access capacity that responsible reach depends on.

One recovery reaches outward — into a family, a workplace, a community.
Movement I · Why · 01

Why now

The question is no longer whether this deserves to be tested. It is how quickly we can build the evidence and responsibly reach more people.

The platform exists and is in use. Early signals were strong enough to justify deeper investigation, and universities, hospitals, researchers and implementation partners are now working with us. The next generation of the intervention is in active development.

What limits the work is not conviction or demand. It is how fast we can responsibly build, study and deploy. That is the part philanthropy changes.

Movement II · How support helps · 01

What your support builds

01
Clinical validation

Study operations, participant support, research coordination and validated outcome measurement.

02
Safety and regulatory readiness

The clinical, privacy, quality and regulatory systems required for responsible deployment.

03
Technology and measurement

The personalization, safety and multimodal measurement infrastructure underneath the platform.

04
Access and implementation

Reaching people living with trauma who would otherwise go without, and keeping the program free for participants.

Gifts are unrestricted by default, which lets the Foundation put them where the work needs them. If you want your gift directed to a specific area, we can arrange that directly.

Movement II · How support helps · 02

MyWhatIf was built by people bringing what they had.

Clinical expertise, research, technology, lived experience, time, introductions. Philanthropy brings the one thing none of those can supply on their own, which is the time and rigor this work needs to be done properly, and the reach to matter beyond the people who found us first.

Where this goes
Philanthropy now. Diversified sustainability over time.

Philanthropy builds the evidence and access infrastructure first. Our goal is for MyWhatIf's core operations to become self-sustaining by 2030 through diversified, mission-aligned institutional revenue, while philanthropy continues to help expand access, research and replication. This is a goal, not a commitment or a forecast, and no single source of revenue, including reimbursement or licensing, is assured to get us there. Possible pathways include sponsored access, institutional and government partnerships, reimbursement where validated and authorized, and mission-aligned replication arrangements. None of these funds operations today.

Movement IV · Where this goes · 03 · Two pathways, one origin

Evidence is what opens access. Regulatory and reimbursement work, if it succeeds, could help systems pay for it.

Studies and evidence
Whether it is effective, for whom, how safely, and in which settings. Both pathways below begin here.
Path 1 · Access Underway
Now
Early intervention and research programs.
Studies
Controlled and longitudinal studies of the hope intervention: its safety, outcomes and durability.
Responsible deployment
Partner and community programs.
Impact Scale
More populations, more geographies, more institutional partners.
Path 2 · Sustainability Parallel
Regulatory pathway
Building evidence toward potential FDA authorization and reimbursement. Authorization has not been granted and is not assumed.
Sponsored access and partnerships
Funders, health systems, institutions and governments may sponsor or support access. Possible, not assured.
Reimbursement where validated
Depends on validation and regulatory milestones. Not assumed.
Mission-aligned replication
Arrangements that could let qualified, mission-aligned organizations deliver programs once they are proven. Not yet in place.
Long-term aim
Diversified institutional sustainability, not dependent on any single source.
