Help us Launch The Alignment Collective

💡 Our Mission- Whole-Person Healing. Rooted in Community ❤️‍🩹

The Alignment Collective is a trauma-informed nonprofit dedicated to whole-person healing. We create inclusive wellness spaces that blend therapy, movement, and community care — supporting individuals navigating trauma, stress, grief, or systemic oppression.

We serve veterans, caregivers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, BIPOC communities, people recovering from burnout, and anyone ready to reconnect with themselves through body-based and relational healing.

🚨 Why We Exist

We know we can’t solve every challenge people face — but we can walk beside them as they find clarity, strength, and joy.

Traditional mental health care often separates the mind from the body, ignores cultural context, and remains out of reach for those who need it most. There’s a critical gap between wellness services and people who are system-impacted — including trauma survivors, veterans, queer communities, and those facing financial or societal barriers.

These individuals deserve integrated, affirming care that recognizes them as whole.
 

📊 The Opportunity

Tens of millions of people in the U.S. are living with the distress from past experiences, trauma, chronic stress, or nervous system dysregulation. Demand for trauma-informed, body-based, and community-rooted healing is rising — yet most wellness spaces remain inaccessible or disconnected from lived experience.

The Alignment Collective meets this moment with care that is inclusive, grounded, and transformative.

🛠️ Our Work is Unique

We offer an innovative, integrated care model that honors both evidence-based practice and embodied healing.

Our programming combines:

• Individual and group therapy

• Movement practices like yoga, Pilates, breathwork, walk-and-talk sessions, and nature-based healing

• Trauma-informed intensives and workshops (including EMDR)

• Peer support and community rituals

Everything we do is rooted in harm reduction, accessibility, and healing justice. We meet people where they are — emotionally, physically, and financially — and help them move toward alignment in their lives.

💰 Sponsorship Supports the collective 

We’re raising $50,000 to launch our first year of operations under fiscal sponsorship. Your support will help us:

• Launch trauma-informed wellness programs in a welcoming community space

• Purchase equipment and supplies for somatic movement and therapeutic tools

• Provide outreach and access to veterans, caregivers, and underserved communities

• Fund scholarships and sliding-scale options for clients facing financial barriers

• Build the infrastructure for long-term sustainability and future grant funding

This campaign opens the door to deep, embodied healing — for people who are too often left out of traditional care systems.
