Overview

Mission

We dedicate ourselves to make available, for the patients, through the blood center of northcentral Wisconsin, inc., a safe, adequate, economical, and voluntary supply of blood and its components for the alleviation of pain and suffering and the saving of human lives.

What it reported doing in 2023

Collected 7,435 units of whole blood and completed 551 platelet apheresis procedures from various sites in taylor, marathon, langlade, shawano, portage, columbia, lincoln and wood counties. The blood and its components are then distributed primarily to hospitals in the same counties. A total of 8,430 units of blood and 4,089 blood component products, such as ffp plasma, cryo and platelet apheresis were distributed.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
