Health Brigade fills a unique role in the community by providing a full range of exceptional health care services to those who struggle for or are denied services. Over 30% of Richmonders live below the poverty level. That means, 1 in 3 of our neighbors is faced with the difficult decision of whether they buy food, pay rent or obtain medical care.
Individual donors only make up 10% of our operating budget. Government funding and other resources are becoming more and more scarce. By making a tax deductible donation to Health Brigade, you are able to allocate your tax dollars to an organization that is helping your community directly. Now, more than ever, we need your help.
Every dollar you donate becomes $8 worth of services. You matter. Can we count on your support?

Gifts Given in Honor or Memory
Gifts have special meaning when offered “in memory of” or “in honor of” those who have touched our lives. Consider paying tribute to someone special during the holidays, on a birthday or anniversary, or in recognition of any milestone. Be sure to provide your gift recipient’s name and contact information so that we can notify them of your thoughtfulness! Click here to give a gift in honor or memory of someone special!
Matching Gifts
Many companies will match (either dollar-for-dollar or a certain percentage of) their employees’ contributions to non-profit organizations. Please check with your company’s human resources office and request a matching gift form. Simply complete the form and forward it to HB (either with your contribution or shortly after making a gift online.) HB will handle the rest!
