SIRUM
Connecting people with surplus medications to save lives
SIRUM is a nonprofit technology platform that redistributes surplus, unexpired medications from donors such as nursing homes, pharmacies, and manufacturers to community partners serving patients who cannot afford their prescriptions. The platform acts as a matching engine, routing donated medicine to where it is needed most. SIRUM positions itself as the country's largest redistributor of surplus medicine, addressing the estimated $11 billion in unused medicine that goes to waste annually.
Organizations donate surplus medicine through SIRUM's platform, which matches donations to community partners who then distribute them to patients who otherwise couldn't afford their medications.
