Overview

Mission

As the number one cause of preventable disability, neurovascular disease demands excellence in clinical services to reduce disability and death. Neurovascular clinicians depend on anvc to empower them with knowledge and skills, because our patients deserve nothing less.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provided education and testing for certification and recertification of neurological clinicians. Made a transition from live courses to an on demand format for all of our review courses that prepare participants for board exams through the neurovascular clinician certification corporation (nvc-3). Membership growth has increased 12.5% compared to the prior year and we have continued growth through social media.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 87% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
