Overview

Mission

Fostering access to preventative health care and advancing evidence based on prevention and education for the optimal health of children.

What it reported doing in 2013

Childrens health fund - this program was launched in may 2013 and is a program that provides temporary financial assitance for families so they may access pediatric health care services for their children who are uninsured or underinsured.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
