The Roots Collective

is an essential part of our mission to bring Hope, Healing, and Restoration to the people of Rochester as our strongest base of sustaining donors! Currently, The Roots Collective is inclusive of all individuals, families, and organizations who have made contributions totaling at least $300 annually (both one-time and recurring gifts included), allowing us to meet the most tangible and urgent needs of our patients and keep our operations not only running, but growing, as we had a record high of over 10,000 patient visits in 2023!

As part of The Roots Collective, you’ll be able to step into the story here as we invite you to engage personally with our mission through special events and exclusive opportunities. We believe that your generosity not only impacts the people we serve, it can also inspire others to grow in support for us. Your investment will be acknowledged as part of our Collective for your support with the hopes that it will in turn ignite curiosity and generosity from others.

Want to join others in supporting our mission? We would love to have you! A one-time or monthly donation reaching at least $300 will count you in as a member of The Roots Collective. You’ll automatically be enrolled in communications about our Collective events and opportunities. If you’d like to discuss how to start a new donation, or increase your current giving to be a part of the collective, please reach out to Mike for assistance!

All donations are tax-deductible.
Donors will receive a year-end statement for your records.
 If you have any questions, or need additional assistance, please reach out to our Financial Director, Josh Moody, at jmoody@hisbranches.org.

Thank you to our current members of The Roots Collective!
