FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THE WITT GROUP
ESTABLISHES THE WITT FUND
New non-profit division accelerates
the organization’s ability to raise money for patients in need
SANTA CLARA, Calif. – March 16, 2023 – The
WiTT Group™, Inc., a company
focused on solving the non-clinical challenges (financial and non-financial) patients
face as they go through cancer treatment, is pleased to announce that is has established
a new non-profit division called the WiTT Fund, which aims to accelerate the
organization’s ability to raise money for patients in need.
Commenting on the establishment of the
WiTT Fund, Rahul Mahadevan, CEO and
Founder of the WiTT Group said, "By establishing the WiTT Fund, we are creating
an added dimension of support to reach a much larger community of patients at a
much faster rate than what can be generated by private care circles alone. Now organizations, not just individuals, can
make charitable contributions to support patients with an added tax
benefit. Patients receive 100% of their
donations without being charged a fee.”
The WiTT Group partners with a variety of organizations including
non-profits, cancer support groups, hospitals, providers, employers and church
groups to use its WiTT Support Registry™ platform. These organizations help identify patients in
need who can use the platform to create a personal support registry of financial and non-financial needs, and make their registry
visible to their friends and family. This not only makes it easy for a patient to ask for support, but it
also makes it easy for those that want to support a patient to know exactly
what they can do to help. Patients also have the option to make their
profile public, so they can receive contributions from a broader group of
donors through the WiTT Fund. The WiTT Support Registry is free to
patients.

"The WiTT Group remains
focused on our mission of helping patients dealing with chronic diseases to get
the non-clinical financial and non-financial support they need as they go
through treatment,” added Rahul Mahadevan. "We believe our platform addresses both the
Financial Toxicity challenges patients face, as well as the Health Equity
challenges our healthcare system struggles with. Doing both of these, we
believe, will improve outcomes for patients.”
The WiTT Fund is a component fund of
Legacy Global Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. EIN 20-8099462. Donations may be tax deductible.
