Overview

Mission

To encourage, engage, and equip christians to live out the gospel through healthcare among the poor and marginalized.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization continued to work on regional events to build stronger networks among member clinics. This invovled travel and longer trips to cities across the us. The annual conference was held again during fy25. Student outreach work continued. Summer medical immersion programs in philadelphia, where advanced healthcare students are exposed to community based primary care and door-to-door medical screening projects, continued. The organization further developed ongoing coaching, mentoring, and consulting services to faith-based free and charitably funded healthcare clinics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
