Overview

Mission

To Promote Health and Improve

What it reported doing in 2016

Education and outreach: support the african american community with evidence based, community approaches to chronic disease prevention and control. These services include a chronic disease self-management program and a diabetes prevention program. Both include extensive learning opportunities and followup.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
