Overview

Mission

Community Wellness Collaborative is a San Diego-based nonprofit committed to improving access to healthcare and investing in community wellness. Our mission is to improve everyones access to quality, affordable, integrative wellness care.

What it reported doing in 2024

Storefront: Our Storefront wellness center lies on a busy street in the heart of a district known for live music community events. We are along the footprint of the annual Adams Avenue Street Fair, Adams Ave Unplugged, and Art Around Adams (on hiatus since Pandemic.) During each of these larger events we host and curate a stage of music in our parking lot and offer tours and sample sessions with our providers. We feel music is one of the greatest healing forces in this World and like combining music with healing at every opportunity. Our organization began years ago with a Healing Arts Festival in San Diego's Balboa Park and these mini-festivals allow us to go back to our roots in the community's music scene. This year we brought different artists together for free live performances while promoting our other programs and outreach efforts to hundreds of attendees and guests.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 96% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
