Your Gift Creates Lasting Change
If you want your generosity to make the greatest possible impact, you are in the right place. The Tia Foundation is committed to transparency, efficiency, and measurable results. When you give, you see exactly what your contribution accomplishes in the communities we serve.
Why Donate to Tia?
For less than five dollars, you can provide someone with healthcare for life.
It sounds unbelievable, but it is real. Our model is built on teaching, not temporary relief. By training local residents as health workers and partnering with municipalities, we create long-term healthcare systems that communities maintain themselves.
Your support fuels one of the most cost-effective health programs in the world.
Where Your Donation Goes
Your gift helps us keep our program sustainable, effective, and community driven. The cost of providing lifetime healthcare for one person reflects every part of our operation, including:
Medical Equipment and Supplies
Every community we serve receives at least one fully stocked medical kit so trained health workers have the tools they need to care for their neighbors. Each Promotor also receives a copy of Donde No Hay Doctor, the essential reference manual that supports ongoing learning.
These supplies are made possible through donations from supporters like you.
Logistical Support
While many volunteers cover their own travel costs, Tia provides essential support such as:
-
Transportation to remote communities
-
Training materials
-
Basic program equipment
-
A simple thank-you meal to honor volunteers who give their time and comfort to serve others
These costs help ensure that our brigades can reach isolated villages safely and effectively.
Outreach and Communication
You found Tia because our supporters help us spread the word. Maintaining a clear and reliable line of communication requires:
-
Website hosting
-
Email service and print materials
-
Photography and equipment replacement
-
Design and educational resources
We rely on volunteers whenever possible, but certain expenses must be covered to keep our mission moving forward.
Staff Support
Behind every successful program is a small team managing logistics, research, supply procurement, training materials, and coordination with local governments.
Tia operates with a tiny staff of three:
-
Founder and President, Laura Libman
-
Medical Director, Dr. Roberto Martinez
-
Program and Marketing Director, Austin Reed
Everyone else is a volunteer.
Supporting staff means supporting the mission. Your contribution helps them continue serving remote communities that depend on this work.
Why We Recommend Monetary Donations
Supporters sometimes ask whether they can donate medications or equipment. Although appreciated, these donations are often difficult to transport across borders and expensive to store.
We keep overhead low by purchasing most supplies directly in Mexico, which:
-
Supports local economies
-
Reduces transportation cost
-
Ensures materials meet local regulations
For these reasons, direct financial contributions are the most effective way to help.
Giving Is Simple
We accept credit cards and eChecks through our secure DigiCert system powered by Bloomberg Fundraising (formerly Qgiv).
Just choose your amount, select your frequency, and submit. Your generosity immediately begins transforming lives.
Donate today and help bring sustainable healthcare to families who need it most.
