Giving Tuesday is just a few weeks away and we have officially launched our 2023 crowdfunding campaign! Every dollar counts as we work towards the necessary reserve funds to qualify for federal recognition. Additionally, the generosity of our supporters allows us to continue serving the 21(!) programs we currently have in candidacy for accreditation and build a stronger future for Ayurvedic professionals around the country.

If you believe in the value of integrative medicine to support health and well-being, please consider a financial donation to AAC, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. To help us achieve our vision, we are launching an end-of-year fundraising drive. Your contribution towards our $10,000 goal will help us:

✔️ Accredit 30+ Ayurvedic training programs graduating over 3000 prospective professionals in the next 5 years
✔️ Provide assurance that program graduates maintain standards to practice their profession
✔️ Preserve the heritage and ensure the future success of Ayurvedic medicine
✔️ Encourage a wide acceptance of Ayurvedic medicine in integrative medical practice settings
✔️ Build a strong case for licensure of Ayurvedic clinicians in each state

We’d also like to extend our deepest thanks to all of our current donors and supporters. The generosity of these individuals, companies, and organizations has helped us advance the quality of Ayurvedic education and care.

Finally, please help spread the word about AAC’s work and the crucial importance of accreditation in the field of Ayurveda. Forward this email, tell your students, friends, and colleagues, and please reach out if you’d like to get involved.

Warmest wishes,

Lisa Cavallaro, Executive Director
