Thank you for your interest in donating to CCARE.
Your generosity is the driving force behind our efforts to create accessible tools for cultivating compassion, advance scientific research, and raise awareness of compassion’s profound importance in our world.
In 2008 CCARE was founded by Dr. James Doty, a Stanford neurosurgeon, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, whose lifelong passion was understanding what motivates people to do good. Dr. Doty passed away in July of 2025, yet his vision and dedication will continue to inspire and shape CCARE’s work.
To honor Dr. Doty’s legacy, we invite you to carry his mission forward by making a gift.
