What it reported doing in 2025
Aid via action short mission trips participation in the aid via action mission trips is currently self-funded for all volunteers; however, the organization provides several key components to enhance the experience, including the orientation dinner, a guided cultural visit to tikal with transportation and lunch, and a closing dinner with certificates of recognition. The clinical mission is focused on delivering high-impact surgical care while fostering education and collaboration. Core surgical priorities include general surgery procedures such as inguinal and umbilical hernia repairs, lipoma excisions, ventral hernias, cholecystectomies (open and laparoscopic), and amputations, as well as pediatric surgical cases of similar scope. Advanced laparoscopy, particularly laparoscopic cholecystectomy, is a growing area of emphasis. In addition, a rapidly expanding urology program at hospital nacional de san benito is addressing critical unmet needs, with particular demand for transurethral resection of the prostate (turp) procedures and increasing procedural complexity over time. Mission trips are held three times annuallylate january, mid-june, and the week preceding thanksgivingwith dates typically announced up to two years in advance. Volunteers are encouraged to express interest early to facilitate planning. The standard schedule includes arrival in flores over the weekend, followed by orientation on sunday evening at la casona del lago, operative days on monday, tuesday, thursday, and occasionally friday (primarily for urology), and a midweek cultural excursion to tikal. Surgical operations are conducted across three operating rooms with high efficiency, typically accommodating four to five cases per room per day, reflecting a structured, high-volume clinical environment with minimal downtime between cases. For 2025, we had 11 urology volunteers, 10 anesthesia providers, two general surgery providers and residents, one medical student, and 3 other health care providers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 99% 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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
