Overview

Mission

The mission of CHM is to strengthen families by serving the health and nutritional needs of children while reaching families with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

What it reported doing in 2025

In patient programs : NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) & PICU ( Pediatric Intensive Care Unit) at Children's Health Ministries, they care for premature, low birth weight and critically ill newborns in its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Located in a remodeled shipping container in its clinic yard, the NICU is sealed off from dust and germs to provide the most hygienic environment possible for the most fragile babies. Our Pediatric Intensive Care Unit treats critically ill children aged 1 month to 5 years old for the most common causes of preventable child death: pneumonia, diarrhea, infections and sever acute malnutrition.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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.
