Français

It is vital to open up dialogue, to promote deep understanding, to empower, inspire and heal. ​Together, we can.

If your personal path or values are in line with Alba's mission, there are many meaningful ways to support the initiative and impact individuals' lives.
​
Here is an overview (more details on each option below):

If you are an entrepreneur or artist who has been touched by health conditions such as endometriosis, cancer (e.g., breast, ovarian, uterine cancer) or infertility, you may choose to become a member of Alba.

​If you are not an entrepreneur or artist but would still like your story to be shared, you may submit your story for a feature. 

If you are an artist who would like to stand behind this inspiring cause and uplift individuals with your beautiful products highlighting themes of femininity, resilience, solidarity, wellness, self-care, motherhood or fertility, you may apply to become an invited artist. 


If you are an organization, corporation, author, health professional, wellness coach, influencer who would like to endorse this initiative, you may apply to become a sponsor or affiliate.

If you are an individual who sees value in this mission, you can follow Alba, tag us to be featured, tell a friend or contribute to Alba's crowdfunding campaign. 

As Alba grows, additional opportunities to contribute may present themselves, such as for photographers, video bloggers and more. Please subscribe and follow Alba to be kept in the know!

Alba is a membership-based initiative currently focusing on telling the stories of strong-willed entrepreneurs and artists whose lives and work were impacted by endometriosis, cancer or fertility troubles. Individuals who see themselves in Alba’s mission may approach us to become associated with the project. This gives them the opportunity to tell their story from their own unique perspective, not only to reach and empower many, but also to raise funds for the research and treatment of these conditions through sales of a product they designed for the Alba collection. 

Their personal portrait (in words and photographs) is shared with Alba’s growing audience on multiple channels. Through their profile on the website, blog spotlights, featured posts on social media and any related press coverage, their light reaches more and more individuals and communities worldwide.

Members choose one (or several) products they have created that is in some way related to their personal wellness journey, along the themes of femininity, resilience, solidarity, wellness or fertility. It can be a product they specifically created for Alba, or an existing product they already had in their collection. This offering becomes featured in Alba’s shop window for one full year. The member accepts to donate a portion of the proceeds to a related health organization of their choice. In an effort to uplift rather than overwhelm, the member decides the amount of her donation and no minimum donation is imposed. 


Members can be as active as they wish to be for the cause, but no time-commitment is required once the portrait is created. Members who wish to be more active may choose to write guest blog articles, to share more about their journey through social media posts, or to donate prizes for giveaways and funding campaigns. These activities are entirely optional and do not require advance commitment.

The membership fee includes a portrait photography session. However, members may opt out of the session if they so choose. Memberships last for one year but can be renewed for as long as the member wishes to be associated with the mission.

Alba values a holistic approach and strives to promote dialogue on endometriosis, infertility, chronic pain and cancer.

A dialogue must exist on various levels, between patients, their loved-ones, health care professionals and the community at large. To promote this dialogue and gather insights and resources onto one common platform, Alba reaches out to individuals and professionals of every related sphere to contribute their expertise to Alba’s audience. 

If you are a health care professional with expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of these conditions, a mental health professional, a nutritionist, osteopath, acupuncturist, physiotherapist, meditation coach, yoga instructor, author, blogger, influencer or corporation and your values align with Alba’s mission, consider becoming a sponsor or affiliate of the cause.

Sponsors
A sponsor member may apply for 1 or 3-month sponsorship packages. During this time, their logo or product is listed on our site, along with a link to their product or service. Sponsors who wish to share more about their support of the cause may opt to be interviewed and featured on our social media channels or blog articles.

Sponsors add a different dynamic to Alba and enrich our dialogue on the issues we all have at heart. If aligning yourself with an inspiring, innovative and important cause is right for you and your business, please follow the link for more details and to apply to be a sponsor.

One of the goals of the Alba movement is to raise funds for organizations fighting for the effective diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, cancer, chronic pain and mental health. 

Fundraising can be achieved in many different ways. Our mission is to inspire and uplift individuals even in our fundraising initiatives. We curate a beautiful collection of products that are designed and created with passion by small business owners who have either been personally affected by these health challenges or who know individuals who have.

Objects have stories to tell; they are not only functional but they also evoke emotions and enhance wellness. The items in the Alba collection have been chosen to evoke feelings such as femininity, resilience, solidarity, wellness, self-care, motherhood and fertility. Those who donate by purchasing these items and artists who donate by aligning themselves with the cause are both uplifted through this creative process. 

Invited artists apply (or are invited) for a monthly showcase of one product in our Alba collection. The showcase provides a link to the artist's shop and sales are processed by the artist directly. To raise awareness about the cause and introduce the community to the artist's work, the product is featured on our social media channels with a short artist bio and an explanation as to why they have chosen to support Alba's mission. The collection is curated to ensure a balanced range of offered products and to avoid over-saturating our followers. 

If you make something beautiful and would like to support Alba's mission in a creative and uplifting way, follow the link to learn more about applying to be an invited artist.
