Champion child health by empowering educators with health education curriculum, training, and ongoing support to foster communities that thrive in mind, heart, and body.

What it reported doing in 2024

CATCH PE, Substance Misuse Prevention & Mental Health Programs - InternationalThrough our international programs, CATCH serves schools in low- to middle-income countries where students lack access to quality, evidence-based health education programming. CATCH focuses its efforts in Latin America, and has also completed successful pilot projects in Kenya and India, developing partnerships with national and regional Ministries and local schools. Integrated within the curriculum, training, and implementation of CATCH's PE program, CATCH also delivers movement-based mental wellness concepts through our international partners. CATCH also provides a locally-adapted version of its CATCH My Breath vaping prevention program in Canada through partnerships with universities and school boards.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
