An Open Letter to our Donors,
We thank you deeply for considering joining the Responsive Body Investors’ Circle.
Responsive Body is creating a new ‘investors circle’ of donors who want to see RB succeed in its mission. RB aims to accelerate the transformation of systems for human performance and productivity and encourages the proper distribution of resources, support and services for embodied care, social connectivity, and whole-person health and wellness.
We are cultivating investors to be the foundational roots for Responsive Body’s continuation. You would help secure a portion of Responsive Body’s annual operational budget ensuring that we have the means to support our small but mighty infrastructure. This includes our creative director, research and development director, community outreach and social media directors, founder and director, and rotating workshop facilitator supports .The current budget is stable through the end of 2022. We are in need of stabilizing this through 2023 so we can focus on maturing and growing our programs in a sustainable way for the long term. Responsive Body is in a moment of capacity building and we are aware that we need community and shared resources to make this happen. Your contributions would ground the continuous growth of Responsive Body and allow for us to immediately respond as people reach out for support, programs, and services… and for that we are endlessly grateful.

Your investment contribution to Responsive Body would be directly applied to sustaining its operational infrastructure which is currently choreographed with several leadership positions
