Contribute Today

If you don’t think your $25 donation 
matters, imagine what $250,000.00 can do. Your gift, combined with others, makes all the difference.

Your contribution assures that more voices demand better health as an outcome of health reform.

Your benefit: Founded as the Archimedes Movement in 2006, we are a 501(c)(3) organization, allowing you to report your contribution as a tax deduction.

Community benefit:  Each day more people hear about health reform for the first time, and find opportunities to learn, get connected and take individual and collective actions.

Because of you, we influence Oregon’s work toward better health care and health.

Together we can do better. Thank you for your support.

Because one person can make a difference.

Just ask those who:

  • Wrote the principles for health reform, passed in 2007 legislation;
  • Endorsed the Triple Aim, passed in 2009 legislation;
  • Advocated for culturally competent clinicians, now part of local implementation efforts; and
  • Are working on community health initiatives to transform delivery of care.

With your support, the movement keeps growing.

And because we can change old ways of thinking.

Because the national debate around health and health care is far from over. The desire for change is shared with people across political, economic, age, and other traditional demographic divisions.

We believe:

  • People can work together, moving beyond partisanship toward a common good.
  • We find more areas of agreement when we talk about what we value, rather than resorting to rhetoric.
  • That America’s greatest strength is its people.
  • That We Can Do Better.

We see too many Americans disengaged at a time when we need their voices most. As the famous anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, “Never underestimate the power of a small group of committed people to change the world. In fact, it is the only thing that ever has.”
