GERMANTOWN, Md., Dec. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The HealthWell Foundation®, an independent non-profit that provides financial assistance for inadequately insured Americans, is honored to be ranked #17 on the 2025 Forbes list of America’s Top 100 Charities and to be recognized as one of only eight charities nationwide to achieve a 100 percent fundraising efficiency rating.
The HealthWell Foundation’s mission is to reduce financial barriers to care for underinsured patients with chronic or life-altering diseases. Over the past two decades, the Foundation has provided over $4.8 billion in financial support through more than 1.8 million grants to access life-changing, often lifesaving, medications and treatments patients otherwise would not be able to afford.
“We are truly honored to receive this prestigious ranking from Forbes and to be included in the company of so many worthy charities. This recognition would not be possible without the continued trust and generosity of our dedicated individual and corporate donors. We are deeply grateful for your continued support and for recognizing our ongoing commitment to assisting more than one million patients with compassion, care, and integrity. As long as there are patients in need, we remain steadfast in carrying out our mission and expanding our impact for those who need us,” said HealthWell Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer, Michael Heimall, FACHE.
As the season of giving is upon us, HealthWell knows there are many choices when it comes to charitable giving and hopes that you will consider us worthy of a year-end donation. Your donation is put to work immediately to assist underinsured patients who would otherwise forgo life-changing, often lifesaving, medical treatments due to cost.
