If there were an ability for a Trust to be set up , or a non-profit, or if somehow with an LLC we could set it up to where donations/gifts/sponsorships could fund the expansion and spread of this information and treatment
You want to use a trust or a PMA. PMA is a private member association. If using a trust it should not be put together by an attorney if it is to stay out of the government’s clutches. I would definitely not do an LLC because that signs you up to do business with the government instead of keeping things in the private. A PMA and a private trust is also a tax free entity. Let those that can pay, pay a reasonable amount but have ways to help those who cannot pay still be able to get treatment.
But, I also know your heart to help people. I can do $100 a month. I already give the $7.77 from both my real name (Sher) and my anon name (rubyedweena) to substack to support your efforts. I like the exploration of options you are thinking about. By the way, the Vertigo is gone!!! Not the Bells, but this is Gods body and I’m still hopeful. So, let’s go on a new journey. I’m up for it!!!
I disagree, Dr C. Giving products or services away for free generally distorts incentives and encourages people with small problems to take time away from those who really need it.
You need to make it so that the chiropractors involved get paid a fair to a bit greater than fair amount of money so that they will have an incentive to train for the technique and then use it on their clients. If the technique is as good as you believe it is, many chiropractors will resist adopting the method because it will devastate their client list, as each client it is used on will come for adjustment much less often or in some cases not at all.
I think it would be *much* better to make the chiropractic training program free to the chiropractors who want to take it and use the method, allow the chiropractors who train to use the method to charge whatever they believe they should to make their practices financially viable, and perhaps set up a scholarship program that would cover the cost of treatment for clients who otherwise cannot pay the going cost.
You charge, what, $400 for a session. I know how valuable this treatment will be for me, and I will honestly and happily pay that $400 to you. That incentivizes you to continue to put out the immense amount of effort you are putting out to create your offices, staff your business, and so on. Being able to earn a profitable stream of money is needed to enable you to continue to do your work. Those who can pay, and those who are truly desperate to get the treatment will gather the money to provide the payment.
Many chiropractors will not do this if they can't charge a decent rate. You want to make sure they can charge what they need to charge in order to have a business that functions for them.
You want those who can pay to pay.
If you do any charity work, it should be as a scholarship to people who are less well off and *only* for them. And you should keep the chiropractors out of it. Instead, you would incentivize chiropractors to learn and use the method if their market will be expanded to bring new clients in easily in terms of the effort they have to put out to gather in new clients. If you tell chiropractors that not only can they charge whatever they think is appropriate to have a functioning practice and you will also provide them with marketing assistance, a website through which people online can find them, and a scholarship program that people online can apply to for help in going to a nearby chiropractor, I think that will be less distortive and more attractive to chiropractors who might be interested in going through the free training and then charging what they want to because they don't have your charitable inclinations. Never force others to be charitable, right?
But my big question is the training program. My local chiropractor who has extensive neck experience but not recent got disgusted with the SAUC guy's entrance criteria to be allowed to take the training. *That* problem needs to be fixed. You have to be able to train a lot of chiropractors without foisting a lot of pre- entrance requirements on them that make them mad. The training program needs trainers, appropriate entrance requirements or quick remedial work as part of the program. So the main charitable dollars need to go to making the training program low or no cost to the chiropractors who will need to travel to the training center at least once and take time off of work costing lost pay.
The more chiropractors out there who know how to do this method (correctly!), the more the market expands through word of mouth and acceptance that chiropractors really can help long term now and not just suck you in for appointments every two weeks for the rest of your life.
Sorry, very long and not edited, but those are my thoughts.

Thank you for this information
How do I send a one-time donation?
We are working on the whole scenario
Ok I hear Steve…

I would love to be able to help you guys do something like that in the future.
I'll put in $25 a month
Yes, I'd support this project
Create a private foreign trust or a private members association ( PMA ) and avoid all the tax boondoggles in the United States.
$50 a month is not too big of an ask!
I would help with that.
Would!
That would be wonderful!! I would definitely contribute!
Sounds like a wonderful idea
Love this idea. I would support.
Totally willing 👍🏼
I think that's a great idea! I am willing to support this.
