Minnesota and Upper Midwest faith communities are coming together as THEE Alliance Forgiving Medical Debt to erase debt for financial hardship families. Leveraging our legendary generosity with RIP’s expertise, our goal is to forgive $100 million for 50,000 families over the next three years!
Medical costs have doubled in the past forty years, insurance copays and deductibles have spiked, and bankruptcy rates have quadrupled, creating an avalanche of destructive medical debt. More than 60% of bankruptcies in America have medical debt as a root cause.
You can make a lasting difference in the lives of people experiencing the challenge of medical debt. Join in the goal of forgiving $100 million for 50,000 families over the next three years. To date, THEE Alliance has forgiven over $19M of medical debt.

How RIP Works
Over a hundred million Americans, one in three, struggles with the weight of medical debt.
-
You make a donation
We use data analytics to pinpoint the debt of those most in need: households that earn less than 4x the federal poverty level (varies by state, family size) or whose debts are 5% or more of annual income.
-
RIP buys medical debt at a steep discount
We buy debt in bundles, millions of dollars at a time at a fraction of the original cost. This means your donation relieves about 100x its value in medical debt.
-
Together we wipe out medical debt
People across the country receive letters that their debt has been erased. They have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt.
