Medical debt relief
THE GIFTS
We are raising funds on behalf of churches in Maryland to purchase and forgive medical debt in our state. ALL money donated will go directly to purchase and forgive debt through our partnership with RIP Medical Debt, a non-profit company aiming to abolish the medical debt currently bought and sold by collections agency throughout the United States.
Any and all donations are welcome. There will be no "branding" for Revolution or any other church connected to this effort - it is, genuinely and truly, a gift from our community, to our community.
THE PLAN
RIP has a specially trained team who procure debt portfolios by prioritizing the most at-risk cases and extending no-strings-attached forgiveness for what they owe. Right now, RIP has control of a debt portfolio for Maryland totaling $4.5M. We can purchase and forgive that debt for a cost of $45K, or one penny to the dollar. This is a tremendous opportunity to make an enormous difference in the lives of our neighbors! We hope to finalize all donations and purchases by Thanksgiving 2020.
If you are able to give towards this gift, please select the “Medical Debt Relief” designation and donate here.
