Support the AltaMed Community Care Fund on Giving Day
Help us shape the future of health care!
55 years ago, AltaMed was founded on a simple belief—that everyone, regardless of their financial resources, heritage, or employment status, deserves access to quality health care. Five and a half decades later, this belief is still at the core of everything we do.
As we celebrate our 55th Anniversary, we invite you to help us kick off our next chapter by contributing to our Community Care Fund (CCF) on Giving Day, September 18, 2024. Be a part of our legacy and join in our vision for the future by donating on September 18.
About the Community Care Fund:
The Community Care Fund is dedicated to providing critical support to individuals and families in need. Through the CCF, we offer direct aid to people facing food and housing insecurity, support families dealing with loss, and assist uninsured patients experiencing financial instability.
Last year, the average approved amount per request was just $321. While we often think of philanthropy in the millions and billions, even contributions of less than $500 can have a profound impact on someone’s life.
In 2023, we approved 88% of aid requests—a remarkable achievement, but there is still more work to be done. We envision a future where we can fund 100% of aid requests and ensure that no one is left without the support they need. With your help, we know this is possible.
Why Your Support Matters:
The need for assistance continues to grow each year. In 2023 alone, approved requests from the CCF helped over 140 families in Los Angeles and Orange County, directly impacting 1,513 people. The most common needs funded included:
- Groceries: 228 requests
- Bills: 126 requests
- Furniture/Appliances: 79 requests
- Medical Expenses (e.g., prescriptions, glasses, bills not covered by AltaMed): 49 requests
Your Impact:
The CCF is supported by our employee giving program called AltaMed Gives, and donors like you. Your generous contribution can make a significant difference. Here’s how your donation can help:
- $50: Provides groceries for a family for a week.
- $100: Covers utility bills for a struggling household.
- $250: Supports medical expenses such as prescriptions and glasses.
- $500: Furnishes a family's home with essential appliances.
- $1,000: Ensures comprehensive support for multiple families in need.
Every dollar you donate will be matched by a generous donor, doubling your impact and helping us reach our $10,000 goal. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve.
Join Us on Our Journey:
This Giving Day, we’re not just raising funds; we’re sharing AltaMed’s commitment to building healthier communities over the past 55 years. By contributing to the Community Care Fund, you become part of our story and help us write the next chapter. Your support will enable us to continue growing healthy together and expand our reach to even more families in need.
