Project Health

How Can I Help?

Despite the incredible success stories, meeting our goals and the incredible in-kind donations of care by the doctors and hospitals – ALL IS NOT ROSY. Project Health charges no fees of any kind and therefore has no income other than local grant funding to survive. Local foundations limit the number of years any organization can be funded, and Project Health has exhausted most of those resources. We need help to stay alive.

The Indianapolis Medical Society Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Any gift to the IMSF-Project Health is tax deductable. Please phone Carrie Jackson-Logsdon at (317) 262-5625 or email carrie@imsonline.org for more information on how you can help.
