Phreesia is committed to racial and economic justice. As part of that commitment, we are very pleased to announce a new initiative that will give the company, its founders and their families, our Board of Directors and our employees the opportunity to support United States and Canada based organizations that are on the front lines, fighting for equality, criminal justice reform and relief for communities in crisis.  Information about each of these groups can be found below. 
 
Phreesia’s co-founders and their spouses—Chaim and Jennifer Indig, and Evan and Suzanne Roberts—have pledged a collective donation of $50,000. Additionally, Phreesia's Board of Directors has pledged a collective donation of $60,000.

As a company, Phreesia will also match each dollar that our employees donate, up to $50,000. All donations are voluntary. Our goal is to reach $210,000 in total donations by August 1. We’ve seen time and time again how passionate and justice-minded our Phreesians are and we’re honored to support them in working for change.
