Donate, volunteer, partner, give equipment, or stay close. Five ways to help.
“Care once exclusive to professional athletes and the ultra-wealthy. Now reaching the 99% who need it most.”
Five ways to help
Whether you have five dollars a month, five hours a week, or a warehouse of clinical equipment, there is a way to move our work forward.
Donate
All gifts are unrestricted. The Foundation directs each donation to the program where it has the most impact today. Monthly giving helps us plan consistent care across the calendar year.
Donate nowVolunteer
Licensed clinicians, students in healthcare programs, event coordinators, administrators, and translators. Time commitments range from one event to an ongoing weekly role. Five role types open right now.
Become a volunteerPartner
Clinics, schools, employers, athletic teams, and faith communities co-design Foundation-funded programs that serve their populations. We bring funding, oversight, and donor reporting; you bring the relationship.
Start a partnershipEquipment
Therapy modalities such as shockwave therapy (SWT), PEMF, and laser, plus durable medical equipment like crutches, wheelchairs, walkers, exercise equipment, and clinical supplies. Donations in good condition are redistributed to partner clinics, families, and programs that need them. Tell us what you have and your general location. We will coordinate pickup or shipping.
Donate equipmentNewsletter
Four short emails a year. Program updates, scholarship deadlines, donor-impact stories, and volunteer openings. No fundraising spam, unsubscribe anytime.

Donor dollars land in one of six rehabilitation-adjacent categories, chosen by the donor. We track allocation by category and publish an annual summary so you know where your specific gift went.
Make a difference
At Flexion Foundation we are dedicated to making a positive impact on individuals and communities by providing vital rehabilitation resources and support. The work happens through licensed clinicians, trained volunteers, partner organizations, and donors who make every session possible.
If you are not sure which path fits, start with a conversation. One email is often enough to find the right role or the right program for your gift. We respond within one business day.
For clinicians and students
These come up most often from volunteer clinicians, students applying for scholarships, and practitioners looking at course sponsorship. If yours is not here, email donate@flexionfoundation.org.
No. The Foundation runs on a mix of licensed clinicians, students in healthcare programs, event coordinators, administrators, translators, and logistics volunteers. Clinical roles require licensure; everything else does not.
Yes. All direct patient care must be delivered by a clinician licensed in the state where the service is provided. If you hold a license in another state, we can place you in non-clinical roles, connect you with a partner program in your state, or scope you into telehealth where your license is valid.
Roles range from a single event like a half-day community clinic to an ongoing shift of a few hours per week for a standing program. Tell us what you can offer and we match you to a role that fits.
Coverage is role-specific. Before your first shift we confirm the program's professional liability coverage with you in writing, including the scope covered by the Foundation policy and what falls back to your personal policy. No clinical shift starts without that confirmation in hand.
Some volunteer roles include structured clinical supervision, case presentation, or a teaching component that qualifies for continuing competency credit under state PT, OT, or AT boards. We issue a signed letter of participation for any role that could support your CEU filing. Final credit recognition depends on your state board's rules.
Yes, for evaluation and follow-up care where telehealth is clinically appropriate. Telehealth volunteers must hold a license in the state where the patient is physically located at the time of the visit, per state practice-act rules.
Students enrolled in accredited rehabilitation and sports medicine programs (PT, OT, AT, SLP, exercise science), and licensed practitioners maintaining certifications or completing board-required courses. Priority goes to applicants planning to serve communities with limited access to care.
Email donate@flexionfoundation.org with "Scholarship application" in the subject. Include your program or course name, the cost, your expected completion date, and a short statement about where you intend to practice. Scholarship applications are reviewed twice a year on March 31 and September 30; the next deadline is September 30, 2026, with awards notified within 45 days. Course sponsorship requests for clinicians are reviewed monthly by the Education committee. We acknowledge every receipt within one business day.
No repayment and no mandatory service contract. We ask recipients to send a short annual update about where they are practicing and what the scholarship made possible. This helps donors see the impact of their gift and supports future fundraising.
Possibly. We fund continuing education for practitioners serving communities when cost is the only barrier. Email donate@flexionfoundation.org with the course name, the cost, your current practice setting, and who you serve. The Education committee of the board reviews requests monthly.
Yes. Clinics, schools, athletic teams, and employers all collaborate with the Foundation on targeted programs. We co-design the program, share clinical oversight, and handle donor-facing reporting. Email us with a description of the population you want to serve.
Only with your consent. We do not publish names, photos, or case details without explicit written release. Public recognition is helpful for fundraising but is always your choice, not a condition of participating.
