There are many fine viral hepatitis-related organizations. Whether they educate, advocate, promote research or lobby for change, they all help to raise awareness about hepatitis. These organizations need money, and one way you can make a difference during Hepatitis Awareness Month is to make a donation. And yes, no amount is too small (or too big).

Yesterday I listed some of my favorite organizations. All of them would welcome your contributions. Today I want to highlight the National Viral Hepatitis Roundtable’s (NVHR) #StopHep campaign. NVHR is trying to raise $10,000 by May 31st at midnight to support policy, advocacy and education work on the front lines of hepatitis treatment. I just made my donation. Hope you will help to #StopHep.

Here is information about NVHR’s campaign:

May is National Hepatitis Awareness Month. Help us #StopHep by raising $10,000 by May 31st at midnight to support policy, advocacy and education work on the front lines of hepatitis treatment.

NVHR is the only national coalition fighting to end hepatitis B and C in the United States. Funds raised through #StopHep will support our key programs:

  1.    Mini-grants to support grassroots community groups.
  2.    Harm reduction and drug user health.
  3.    Advocacy for federal funding and treatment access.
  4.    Addressing hepatitis C in the criminal justice system. 

Help us start the month off strong by meeting our $2,500 goal for the first week in May. Donations this week will highlight expanding our work through capacity-building mini grants to community groups across the country.

Can we count on your help to end viral hepatitis today?
