Getting Started
How do I start a campaign?
Go to Undue Medical Debt’s Start a Medical Debt Relief Campaign page and choose the “regional campaign” when asked what type of campaign you would like to start.
Choose “Organization” when prompted and fill out your hub’s information.
We recommend a minimum of 4-6 months of lead time to prepare for your campaign. Undue Medical Debt currently has a $15,000 minimum fundraising requirement, and your hub needs ample time to prepare for this fundraising effort. The Shred the Debt team cannot financially support each individual campaign.
Under the “ANYTHING ELSE YOU’D LIKE TO MENTION?” section, you can provide more information as to how localized you would like your campaign to be. You can focus on specific counties (a minimum of 3 is required), but due to debt availability in the area, you may be told to expand your campaign’s footprint to encompass a larger area within your region to meet the minimum fundraising amount.
Once submitted, a member from Undue Medical Debt will be in contact with you within 1-2 weeks to discuss your campaign.
Please use the naming scheme “Shred the Debt: [Your Region]” as this will help us keep track of campaigns and provide visibility to your campaign!
Connect with the Shred the Debt team through our WhatsApp channel to be provided with support and tips and tricks from other hubs running their own campaigns!
Document your progress and share your impact with the community, we regularly update our campaigns tab with active links and the impact your hub has made!
