Overview

Mission

Statement on schedule o

What it reported doing in 2024

We received a grant from copic medical foundation in 2023 to train 10 pchws in houston. We have trained 8 trainees through this grant ( 2 in central Texas who have completed training) 2 in houston who have completed training, and the final 4 are completing their preceptorships. We have hired the 2 central Texas trainees and are applying for funding to hire the 6 pchw trainees in houston this year. Our pchw curriculum is still pending with the Texas department of state health services.

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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
