Would you like to help BPF advance its mission 和 vision?
Here are some very valuable things you can do (in rough order from simpler to more involved):

1. Share. Share this website with others who should know about us. Discuss the brain preservation option in your online and offline communities. Much more public discussion will be needed to get us all comfortable with the idea of brain preservation as a medically-supervised, universally accessible end-of-life option. Except with respect to cryonics, which has long had the validation problems we discuss on our Vision page, broad public discussion of brain preservation hasn’t happened yet. Given the highly emotional and traumatic nature of death, the strength and clarity of many people’s beliefs around death, and the still-evolving state of memory neuroscience, many people feel it is safest to simply ignore these ideas, at least in their professional lives. But in our personal lives, many of us are more willing to engage with unpopular ideas. Sharing your views is one small step toward making these ideas more accepted, and eventually, popular. If you know leaders who might be sympathetic to our cause, let them know about our Advisory Boards. Feel free to contact Ken or John and share your ideas for how we can improve.

2. Declare. 如果您发现这些论点中的任一一个有说服力，请 Sign our Petition for Global Access to High Quality Brain Preservation at Change.org, and add your public comments on what the brain preservation choice means to you, and why you think it’s important to validate it, and make it available to everyone who might want to consider it as an end-of-life option for themselves and their loved ones. Get a bumper sticker or apparel from our (still forthcoming) BPF store, to increase social awareness of our work. Feel free to grab one of our images off our site and post it to your site, linking back to our site.

3. Connect. Sign up for our free periodic Substack newsletter, Preservation. If you use Facebook, LinkedIn, or Twitter, like our BPF Facebook page, join our BPF LinkedIn group, and/or follow our BPF Twitter feed. Use these to share relevant news, insights, kudos, and thoughts on what we might do next. Once our community grows large enough, we will launch additional social features and events.

4. Donate. Consider giving $10, around the price of a cup of coffee, or more to our nonprofit, to help us to better execute our mission. Every donation we receive, no matter how small, motivates us to do more. You may apply your donation to any of five uses. If you don’t specify, the donation will go to the General Fund. If you are able to donate $1,000 or more, we welcome you to join our 捐助者 page, and include an (optional) brief statement about why you think our work is worth supporting.

5. Volunteer. If you can spare 3-5 hours a week, for six months or more, consider volunteering. BPF is an all-volunteer run organization, and we offer a number of interesting and valuable volunteer opportunities. We believe the world is ready for a more rigorous evaluation of brain preservation technologies, and if validated, rapid deployment to every human being who would like the option of an affordable brain preservation choice at the end of their biological life. Thank you kindly for your support.
