What is a Collaborative Giving Group?
Our Collaborative Giving Group is a way for physicians to come together to most effectively support a cause we deeply care about: Advancing equity, safety and opportunity for women and girls. Together we can amplify our impact by pooling resources and expertise, while making strategic decisions and building strong personal connections.Â
Meaningful connections
With our warm, welcoming online community and live meetings, members can connect and build meaningful friendships and networks.
Inclusive Decision Making
Charitable organizations are nominated by individual members and then voted on by the group, ensuring diverse perspectives and inclusivity.
Foundation building
Local and informal gatherings hosted by fellow members are where ideas are sparked, friendships are made and lives are changed. Hosts initiate action and are a pillar of the program.
What Doctors are Saying
Alexandra Stockwell, MD
Going into the Doctors Alliance for Women meeting, I expected to feel aligned and collaborative, while learning from the other women physicians present, as we discussed the need for charitable giving and discussed organizations we might want to support. What I didn’t expect was the fun, the friendship, the humor, depth, and vulnerable humanity of everyone present and the lovely way we connected with one another.
After the meeting I felt buoyed by the collective impact we will have, while also enjoying how nourished my soul felt as a result of kinship and camaraderie that naturally developed with women I’d mostly never met before.
Gain control
Finding ourselves “doomscrolling” can make us feel powerless against hurt and despair in the world that we feel we cannot change. Find your voice and your power on important issues with amplified impact.
Find your tribe
Many physicians can feel lonely and isolated outside of their jobs. The collaborative and supportive nature of our community provides structure, depth of meaning and shared values to build authentic and nourishing friendships and networks.Â
Make big change
Charities supporting women and girls receive only 1.8% of all charitable donations in the U.S.​ Supporting women and girls leads to widespread benefits across both genders.​
