Project HEAL: Help to Eat, Accept and Live (www.theprojectheal.org), is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization, founded by two teenage girls who met in treatment for anorexia nervosa, that raises money for people with eating disorders who are not able to afford treatment, and provides them with scholarship funds so that they can get the help they need. Additionally, Project HEAL promotes healthy and realistic body image in hopes of preventing future eating disorders, and inspires current eating disorder sufferers to believe that recovery is possible. Since its founding in 2008, Project HEAL has raised over $170,000, and has sent seven applicants to treatment. The co-founders, Kristina and Liana, speak regularly at high schools, hospital programs and panel talks, sharing their personal stories and educating peers on eating disorders. Additionally, they serve as mentors to both young girls who are battling eating disorders and “normal” teenage girls who experience low self-esteem, as well as consultants to parents, siblings, friends, and treatment providers dealing with these disorders.

We are looking for pro-bono professional services, specifically in the realms of consulting, fundraising, development, finances, marketing, and legal advice.
