The Debt Gala was founded to fight for economic justice and stand up for those who can’t afford the rising costs of care.
This year, we’re proud to be raising money for organizations working to relieve medical debt and ensure access to gender-affirming care:
Point of Pride is a trans-led nonprofit providing direct support and financial assistance to trans folks seeking health and wellness care. They have awarded $4.5 million in financial aid and provided gender-affirming support to over 30,000 people.
Undue Medical Debt is a national nonprofit that buys and eliminates medical debt for those most financially and emotionally burdened; every $10 donated erases an average of $1,000 of un-payable medical debt, allowing families to re-engage with the healthcare system.
