Connect People to Eating Disorder Care Every Month.
Up to 5.5 million people in the U.S. struggle with an eating disorder every year but 77% never receive treatment. Systemic, healthcare, and financial barriers make accessing eating disorder care a privilege for the few. You can help change that.
The Care Collective is a compassionate community of monthly donors who are dedicated to breaking down barriers to eating disorder care. Together, we’re creating a world where everyone has the chance to heal.
The Care Collective
Join the impactful community helping to connect more than 3,500 people to eating disorder care each year.
As a nonprofit organization with no government funding, Project HEAL’s free programs are sustained by generous supporters who are committed to creating a world where everyone has the chance to heal. Our monthly giving program, The Care Collective, is exactly this. When you join The Care Collective, know that 100% of your monthly donation goes towards direct assistance for individuals with eating disorders who would not otherwise be able to access care.

What Your Monthly Gift Does
Project HEAL is the healing hub for those impacted by eating disorders. We bridge the gap between people looking for support and people, like you, who are looking to help. Through strategic healthcare partnerships and intensive resource sourcing and vetting, Project HEAL takes each dollar further — connecting individuals to affordable care and customized resources to meet their specific needs.
