Micro-Giving at DLLC

Decency LLC uses charitable giving to support improvements in healthcare and promote the wellbeing of healthcare-system stakeholders.

DLLC has given to projects including:

• An emotional-support line for individuals walking home at night;

• An organization that supports veterans with mental or physical injuries relating to military service;

• An organization that supports students in healthcare-related internships;

• An organization providing for the wellbeing of kids receiving medical treatment through, e.g., resources for play and teaching; and

• An organization that promotes animal welfare.

Recovery Micro-Grant Program

One of Decency LLC’s longstanding goals has been to launch—when possible—a micro-grant program supporting individuals harmed in the healthcare system.

The purpose of DLLC’s Recovery Micro-Grant program is to provide small grants of up to $50 to individuals recovering from the long-term effects of harmful interventions.

Harmful interventions are defined in this case as any instance where a third party has applied medical or psychological knowledge or techniques to harm the victim, with or without the intent to do so.

These can include, for example but without limitation:

• Medical abuse (e.g., factitious disorder imposed on another, “Munchausen syndrome by proxy”);

• Misguided treatment based on an incorrect diagnosis;

• Violations of medical privacy;

• Interventions with harmful side effects;

• Forced interventions (i.e., without the patient’s consent);

• Harm suffered during research participation, with or without knowledge or consent; or

• Sustained efforts to harass, intimidate, or retaliate against a victim.
