End-of-Year Amplify Fund — Fuel the BRIDGE Programs

The Amplify Fund keeps the lights on for all five of our BRIDGE pillars:
Stage (ConcertStories™ & adaptive events), Support (belonging & navigation), Learn (guidance & education), Insight (InsightLab research & policy), and Fund (CareBridge & economic access).

Help us launch the VIBE Programs by funding the backbone—people, tools, and compliance—that make visibility, access, and research equity possible for brainstem & neuro-complex communities.

Every gift tells a story. Every dollar becomes a bridge.

What your gift fuels (our BRIDGE pillars)

Stage – ConcertStories™ & adaptive events
Disabled-led concerts and performance labs that center neuro-complex bodies and brainstem-aware staging, with StoryLab as our impact storytelling engine.
Amplify pays for rehearsal space, AV tools, insurance, and the staff time to coordinate these pilots.

Support – Belonging & navigation
Peer spaces and light-touch navigation support so neuro-complex patients, caregivers, and disabled artists feel believed—not alone.
Amplify keeps our platforms, forms, and facilitation support running so these spaces are safe and sustainable.

Learn – Guidance & education
Lived experience translated into practical tools for clinicians, educators, and arts institutions.
Amplify covers preparation time, accessibility, and travel/support for talks, workshops, and materials.

Insight – InsightLab research & policy
A research hub connecting EDS/CCI/brainstem science with real patient and artist experience to inform practice and policy.
Amplify funds research assistance, tools like Zotero and transcription, and the web hosting that makes InsightLab possible.

Fund – CareBridge & economic access
Reducing financial cliffs that block access to evaluation, treatment, and adaptive tools.
Amplify supports the legal, policy, and admin groundwork needed to build a responsible micro-grant model, and seeds early proof-of-concept support gifts when possible.

How this relates to ConcertStories™

Gifts to the ConcertStories™ Spring Stage Pilot campaign go directly toward that specific project’s budget (artists, venues, access, filming).

Gifts to the Amplify Fund power the infrastructure behind all of our BRIDGE pillars — including ConcertStories™ — so we can build proof of concept and be ready for larger grants and partnerships.
