Sponsorship opportunities
8 named-gift levels
A lead gift anchors the campaign. Sponsorships fund the parts. Happy to direct your support to the component that fits your priorities — productization, the API and partner-integration layer, the validation study, a single clinical partner site, or one disorder area’s pathway library.
$1,500,000
Founding lead gift
Anchors the campaign. Names the engine. Pays for the founding research and engineering leadership — the principal investigator, the architect, the core staff who carry the program through to a licensable product. A gift at this level is what tells EMR and practice-management partners that PathwayStudio is real and worth integrating with.
Recognition: Name the engine and the validation program in perpetuity (e.g., the *[Donor] Center for Whole-Person Stepped Care*). Lead-patron recognition in every published study, partner-integration release, and platform release.

Validation Study Sponsor
Funds the multi-year outcomes study: implement the CCMMP-grounded pathways at clinical partner sites, measure outcomes session by session, refine what works. The study turns PathwayStudio from a promising tool into a published evidence base — and produces outcomes data no competitor with the same AI can replicate.
Recognition: Underwrite the multi-year outcomes study. Named in perpetuity on every published outcomes paper, instrument release, and partner-integration release that draws on the study's data.

API & Partner Integration Sponsor
Builds the API and integration layer that lets third-party EMRs embed PathwayStudio's intervention engine inside their own clinician workflow. This is what makes the licensing model work — the revenue stream that funds the research long after the grant period ends. Philanthropic dollars in, self-sustaining research asset out.
Recognition: Named sponsor of the API and partner-integration layer (e.g., the *[Donor] Open Care API*). Recognition in every partner-integration release and on the public developer documentation.

Evidence Library Sponsor
Funds the curation of the intervention corpus — clinical guidelines from APA, SAMHSA, VA/DoD, NICE, and elsewhere. Each PathwayStudio recommendation traces back to a source with an explicit strength-of-evidence rating. That's the work that gets the engine through the clinical and compliance review at any EMR vendor that might license it.
Recognition: Named benefactor of the curated, evidence-graded intervention library (e.g., the *[Donor] Evidence Library for Whole-Person Care*). Recognition wherever the library is published or licensed.

Clinical Partner Site Sponsor
Pays for one clinical partner site to implement the pathways and contribute outcomes data to the study. Partner sites are where the evidence is actually generated. They are also the most direct way a donor can connect the gift to the patients PathwayStudio is meant to help.
Recognition: Named sponsor of one clinical partner site participating in the validation study. Recognition on the site, in the published study, and in DMU's annual research report.

Pathway Library Benefactor
Funds the stepped-care pathway library for one clinical area — depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, relational distress, or another focus picked with the program team. Each pathway has its own evidence base, branching logic, escalation triggers, and PCOMS-tied outcome measures.
Recognition: Named benefactor of the stepped-care pathway library for one clinical area (e.g., the *[Donor] Pathway Library for Anxiety*). Recognition in every pathway release and accompanying clinical paper.

PCOMS Outcomes Sponsor
Pays for the session-by-session outcome measures (PCOMS — Partners for Change Outcome Management System) that feed back into which pathways the engine recommends. Without outcomes monitoring, the engine doesn't learn from use and the licensing partners have nothing defensible to show their clinicians.
Recognition: Named sponsor of the session-by-session outcome-measurement layer. Recognition in the outcomes-monitoring and feedback-informed treatment papers published from the program.

Founding supporter
The broadest entry into the campaign. For donors who plan a larger commitment later but want to be on record now, and for those who want to back the program from its first year of productization and validation work.
Recognition: Named in the PathwayStudio founding circle on the program's permanent acknowledgments page and in the inaugural research and partner-integration publications.
