Supported in Our Commitment to Health Equity
We are grateful for the support of many institutional and private donors. We are continuously innovating our approach to leveraging philanthropy for impact.
OUR APPROACH
Fundraising with Purpose.
CareMessage has raised over $43M in philanthropic capital since our founding in 2012. We are grateful for the support of many institutional and private donors who have funded our growth for over 10 years.
Strategic Shift
2024 is a pivotal year for CareMessage. This is the first year in the history of our organization where our monthly core operating expenses will be covered by the revenue we generate from our customers.
Therefore, we are shifting our fundraising approach to focus on funding for exploratory and innovative projects. We welcome partnerships with individual and institutional donors who are interested in fueling the next big ideas in creating health equity for all.
AVAILABLE OPPORTUNITIES
Our latest projects, on the roadmap for 2025.
General R&D Fund: Empowering Healthcare Innovation
At CareMessage, we are committed to transforming healthcare for underserved populations by leveraging innovative technology to address barriers to care. Through our General R&D Fund, we aim to further our mission of impacting the lives of 5 million people from low-income communities annually by 2028. With a proven track record of reaching over 20 million patients, exchanging 500 million messages, and supporting 460 safety-net healthcare organizations, our R&D initiatives focus on driving health equity in the areas of Access to Care, Clinical Outcomes, and Social Determinants of Health.
The General R&D Fund fuels research and development of innovative projects that are on the scale of weeks to months, rather than multiple years. Projects such as deepening integrations with electronic health records (EHRs) to automate care gap closures in areas like cervical and colorectal cancer screenings, and expanding our patented messaging workflow builder to empower customers with self-serve tools. In 2025 we are also planning on developing new patient segmentation methods to deliver targeted interventions, researching care access workflows for Medicaid enrollment and redetermination, and conducting expanded clinical market research to ensure our solutions remain market-leading. These efforts will reduce the administrative burden on clinical staff while improving outcomes for patients, ensuring that care is both scalable and equitable.
Your support of the CareMessage General R&D Fund allows us to continue pioneering new solutions for underserved communities, ensuring every patient has access to timely, impactful care. Together, we can develop technologies that improve health equity, enhance clinical workflows, and create lasting change for the millions of individuals who rely on safety-net healthcare systems. Join us in building a healthier, more accessible future for all.
AI Fund: Revolutionizing Healthcare Access
CareMessage is transforming how underserved communities access and receive healthcare by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence (AI). Our AI initiatives which kicked-off in 2024 are: streamlining patient communication, reducing healthcare worker burnout, and improving patient outcomes through our first release from this project, the AI Assistant. The AI Assistant is categorizing unstructured patient messages to isolate and flag only the most important messages from patients, supporting underserved patient populations and front-line healthcare workers alike.
Through the generous support of multiple investors, we are continuing our AI and Data related R&D work in 2025 to further these advancements, ensuring critical patient needs—such as chronic disease management and addressing social drivers of health—are met efficiently and compassionately with the best available technology.
With this project CareMessage aims to scale these solutions, delivering personalized, equitable care to millions while empowering clinics to thrive despite resource constraints. Together, we can bridge healthcare gaps and create lasting impact for underserved populations.
