The WITT Group Establishes the WITT Fund
New non-profit division accelerates the organization's ability to raise money for patients in need
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.”
