At GuideWell Patient Advocates, we believe no one should have to choose between their health and their financial stability. That is why we partnered with the Carroll Community Foundation to create the GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund.
What is the GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund?
While the expertise of GuideWell’s seasoned advocates can be life-changing, we recognize that the cost of professional patient advocacy is something many vulnerable individuals and families simply cannot afford during their time of greatest need.
To ensure high-quality guidance and patient advocacy services are available to everyone who needs them, we partnered with a leader in community philanthropy to create the GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund as a dedicated resource specifically designed to remove the financial barriers to professional support.
The GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund changes lives by fostering:
- Expert Access: We pair seasoned and dedicated advocates with patients who otherwise couldn’t afford private guidance and advocacy services.
- Sustainable Support: We leverage The Carroll Community Foundation’s infrastructure to ensure your donations are managed with the highest level of transparency and long-term impact.
- Equity in Care: We work with clients to make sure successfully navigating the healthcare system is a right, not a privilege.


Why to Give
Your support ensures that no one has to navigate a healthcare crisis alone. By contributing to the GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund, you are helping to ensure that patients and families get the professional expertise, guidance, and advocacy they need – regardless of their ability to pay.
Because we are a fund held within The Carroll Community Foundation, a registered 501(c)(3) organization, your donations are:
- Tax-Deductible: To the fullest extent allowed by law.
- Professionally Managed: Ensuring maximum transparency and fiscal responsibility.
- Directly Impactful: Focused specifically on providing high-quality, expert guidance and advocacy services to those who cannot otherwise afford it.
Our Promise
100% of the funds designated for the GuideWell Patient Advocate Non-Profit Fund go toward providing expert guidance and advocacy services to patients and families in need.
