Overview
Mission
Through education, encouragement, and enjoyment, children and arthritis intends to assist children with rheumatic diseases and their families deal with their debilitating disorders.
What it reported doing in 2024
Jambalaya jubilee has attracted some of the nation's leading rheumatologists to consult with patients and their families. They are supported by a large contingent of other physicians, counselors, therapists and volunteers, creating an event that is full of education, encouragement, and enjoyment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 96% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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
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.
