Medical debt is a significant issue in Cincinnati, affecting a large portion of its residents. Sixty percent of all Cincinnati residents have some form of delinquent debt, with medical debt being one of the most prevalent forms. Specifically, one in three Cincinnati residents is behind on their medical bills. Additionally, the problem extends beyond the city, as 17% of residents in Hamilton County have their medical debt in collections.

Your participation and support in this campaign play a crucial role in RIP Medical Debts mission to eliminate medical debt for all. Each dollar donated has the power to abolish $100 of medical debt and bring about positive change by making a tangible difference for people in our community. Collectively, we have the power to relieve the weight of medical debt and leave a lasting, transformative impact for people in Hamilton County in Cincinnati.

This campaign hopes to impower the young voices in the world of philanthropy and actively cultivate and nurture relationships between young adult leaders and established figures in the philanthropic community. By fostering these intergenerational relationships, this campaign not only provides young adult voices with a platform to be heard but also offers them the opportunity to learn from the wisdom and experience of seasoned philanthropists. By collaborating with RIP Medical Debt, we achieve the goal of assisting people in our community while also empowering voices through collaboration, fostering innovation, and addressing the challenges of medical debt.

How it works

• 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. Recipients have no tax consequences or penalties to consider. Just like that, they’re free of medical debt!
