MDplus is a small volunteer-led 501(c)(3). Picking the right path here saves everyone time, including you. Most inquiries are best by email; some are faster on a call; member-side questions usually answer themselves in the Slack.
Most paths start here
Email us
Best for partnership inquiries, press, general questions, or anything that benefits from being written down. We respond within ~2 business days.
If your question is genuinely faster on a call, pick a slot that works. We use these for partner discussions, press calls, and quick clarifying conversations.
Best for
Partner discussions where back-and-forth would take days over email
Press or podcast pre-interviews
Quick clarifying questions on Catalyst, Datathon, or sponsorship
If you're trying to join MDplus
Join the Slack
Most member-related questions (about programs, communities, opportunities, or local events) answer themselves once you're in the Slack. It's free to join and that's where the community actually lives.
For partnership-specific questions (sponsorship pricing, hiring, or co-program proposals), the Partners page has more detail and a dedicated partnerships@mdplus.community inbox.
One ask
Help us help you faster.
MDplus runs on volunteer time. The clearer your first message, the faster you get a useful response, usually same-day for well-scoped inquiries.
A good first email tells us:
1Who you are and the org you're with
2What you're trying to do (the actual goal, not just the ask)
3Rough timeline or urgency
4Optional: budget range, if relevant
Still not sure which one?
Default to email. We'll route you to the right path.
