The Collective promotes a contribution-based model rather than charging fixed fees or operating as a traditional nonprofit. There is a suggested minimum contribution. Community members assign the value of what they receive—an approach grounded in trust, equity, and accessibility. This model ensures services are available to everyone while inviting a sense of shared responsibility and stewardship. What is the underlying question of this model? “How much value do you assign to what you fear most in your lived experience?” Challenging value perception, societal norms, and the psychology of mortality.
