Fluffy Friends

The Fluffy Friends™ Program is a new trauma-informed program that enhances physician rapport to address the issue of medically induced post-traumatic stress disorder in chronically ill patients who are most at risk. This simple method allows physicians to demonstrate compassionate commitment and earn patients' trust. The program is facilitated by a personalized, patent-pending teddy bear that gives patients full autonomy over disclosure. Additionally, the program helps protect against physician burnout by improving work-life fulfillment through sustained relationships.

 
 
 
 

The Greater Sum provides strategic training and mentoring for early stage nonprofit innovators. We invest in organizations who are providing new solutions to old problems, and are ready to expand the scale of their impact. We share their stories so that other philanthropists like you have the opportunity to do the same. If you represent a grant-making organization and would like to be connected with these organizations, contact us directly and we’ll make an introduction! Individuals interested in connecting with Fluffy Friends, please visit their website for more information.

The Greater Sum supports organizations that are scaling their impact, either by expanding their service area or by teaching other organizations to replicate their innovation. Why are we excited about the Promising Practices cohort? Because they’re graduates of our Financial Strategy incubator, we know they’re mapping out a plan for sustainable impact. When they applied for funding they created a Pitch Deck that describes the problem the organization was founded to address, the solution they have created, and resulting outcomes. We invest in teams; the pitch deck shows how the leadership of Fluffy Friends is laying the groundwork for success.
