Participate
Congress will not lead the reform of U.S. health care. That leadership must come from citizens, employers, and communities — and it starts with your participation.

Spread the Word
The Foundation’s reach grows one person at a time, one employer at a time, one union at a time, one community at a time, and one donor at a time. If our mission and work matters to you and your family, share it with the people you know.
- Send our videos to your family, friends, and coworkers.
- Share the Foundation’s work on your social media.
- Tell your employer about the Foundation and ask whether they offer a matching donation program.
Build the National Alliance
The Foundation is building a National Alliance of citizens, employers, and communities to compel Congress to reform U.S. health care. That alliance needs local and regional leadership.
If you have organizational skills and want to help build the alliance in your community, write to us at volunteer@imperativefoundation.org. Put “National Alliance” in the subject line. Tell us about your background — a LinkedIn link or a short bio is fine — and how you’d like to help.
For Employers
If you are an employer, the Foundation’s work is directly relevant to the costs you are already struggling to manage.
“Medical costs are the tapeworm of American economic competitiveness.” — Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting, 2017
By 2021, 87 percent of large employers said providing health benefits at current cost growth was unsustainable. The Foundation offers employers a constructive path forward. Employers can:
- Encourage employee donations to the Foundation and match those donations through corporate matching programs.
- Share the Foundation’s work with business networks, trade associations, and corporate peers.
- Join the National Alliance as a corporate participant, adding institutional weight to the citizen coalition.
- Contact us at employers@imperativefoundation.org to discuss partnership opportunities.
Tell Us Your Story
The U.S. health care debate is driven by numbers. The numbers are real and they matter, but they cannot communicate what ordinary Americans have experienced. The Foundation is collecting personal stories from citizens, employers, nurses, physicians, and anyone else with a firsthand perspective on the system.
If you are willing to share your story, email it to mystory@imperativefoundation.org. By sending us your story you are giving the Foundation permission to publish it, in condensed form if needed, on our website and social media. We will not publish your name or contact information.
