$1,051,548.90 of medical debt—GONE

Built on Purpose helps unlock the potential in leaders so they can better empower and inspire those around them. And as excited as I am about the mission of Built on Purpose, what's equally exciting to me is that supporting amazing non-profit organizations is built right into the business plan. I aim to donate $5,000,000 over the first ten years of the business. And I'm starting right away during the launch of the business.

From our launch announcement blog post

For our launch, we partnered with RIP Medical Debt in an effort to make an impact on the lives of as many people as possible. Because of RIP's unique model, we were able to help cancel $1,051,548.90 of medical debt, which paid off debt for 1,675 people in the Savannah area and beyond.

This was made possible by everyone who joined us in this launch effort. My gratitude to all of the businesses and individuals who made financial contributions and those who shared about it online.

I'm excited about the launch—but even more excited about what's to come.

With Gratitude,
Erik
