Our Mission
The Give Back Charity Foundation is driven by an unwavering commitment to foster significant and sustainable transformation within the communities we serve. Our core mission is to inspire and empower the entire community—from individual donors and volunteers to corporate partners—to join us in making a measurable difference where it is needed most. We achieve this by strategically funding and supporting local programs that serve as the bedrock for a stronger, more equitable society.
Investing in the Future: Health, Education, and Youth
A fundamental pillar of our work is directly addressing the root causes of systemic challenges. We focus our resources on three critical areas that offer the highest return on investment for long-term societal health:
First, we champion health and wellness initiatives, ensuring access to quality medical care and resources for vulnerable populations. We believe that good health is not a privilege, but a basic human right necessary for prosperity.
Second, we invest heavily in education, providing scholarships, essential learning materials, and innovative programs to break down barriers to opportunity. We aim to equip the next generation with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly changing world, thereby promoting economic stability for families and entire neighborhoods.
Finally, we are deeply committed to youth development. Our support goes beyond simple recreation; we fund mentorship programs, leadership training, and safe spaces that nurture talent, build character, and instill a sense of civic responsibility in young people. By doing so, we are actively shaping the future leaders and compassionate citizens of our community.
Fighting for Ethical Healthcare
Beyond local funding, the Give Back Charity Foundation recognizes that systemic change requires courageous advocacy. We stand as a dedicated force relentlessly fighting healthcare giants who prioritize massive corporate profits over the well-being of their patients. We are committed to using every resource at our disposal—from legal challenges to public awareness campaigns—to hold them accountable for unethical billing practices, denial of necessary treatments, and declining quality of care. Our ultimate goal is to guarantee ethical, compassionate, and high-quality healthcare for every single patient, ensuring that human dignity is always placed above the bottom line.
By combining our deep local support with powerful systemic advocacy, the Give Back Charity Foundation maximizes its impact, ensuring that every dollar and every hour of volunteer effort contributes directly to a stronger, healthier, and more just tomorrow. We are not just giving back; we are investing in transformative change.
The Give Back Charity Foundation's stance against Providence Health Care aligns with significant public and legal scrutiny the health system has faced, particularly regarding its practices toward vulnerable patients. This fight is rooted in the mission to enforce ethical and compassionate healthcare by:
Challenging Charity Care Practices: Providence, a large non-profit hospital system, has been under investigation and subject to large settlements (e.g., a $158 million settlement in Washington state) for allegedly having business strategies that pressured low-income patients who qualified for free or discounted care to pay their bills, sometimes sending them to debt collectors. This directly contradicts the spirit of a non-profit mission to serve the poor and vulnerable.
Holding "Giants" Accountable: For the Foundation, this is a clear case of holding a multi-billion-dollar health care giant accountable for prioritizing revenue over its core, charitable mission. This advocacy works to ensure that the huge tax breaks non-profit systems receive are matched by real, tangible community benefits, including genuinely accessible and affordable care.
Ensuring Ethical Treatment: The core of this conflict is the demand that Providence and similar organizations adhere to ethical, compassionate, and high-quality healthcare standards, rather than business models that create medical debt for those least able to afford it.
The Broader Warning: Systemic Healthcare Flaws
The Foundation's mission to "put the warning out" about the healthcare system addresses the widespread national concerns that the fight with Providence is just one symptom of:
Cost and Access Crisis: Despite the U.S. spending far more per capita on healthcare than any other wealthy nation, millions struggle with high costs. Many Americans skip or postpone necessary care due to expense, and medical debt is a leading cause of individual bankruptcy. The warning is that high cost does not equate to high quality or universal access.
Profit Over People: The warning highlights a system where corporate profits, payor denials, and financial strains on providers can lead to compromised quality. Non-profits, in particular, must be held to their promise to serve the community, as many are criticized for underspending on charity care compared to their tax benefits.
Systemic Failures: The Foundation's mission raises the alarm about an entire system plagued by complexity, lack of transparency, and systemic inequities (financial, racial, and geographic). The goal is to move beyond temporary fixes and demand transformational change that guarantees dignity and health for all.
