Overview

Mission

To provide social and medical care to the uninsured and the undeserved population and to bridge any gaps that may hinder them from reaching their maximum potential.

What it reported doing in 2025

Public contributions, grants, and state funding

Operating model

Revenue model
Affiliate-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions from related organizations.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
