Overview

Mission

Ccih seeks to mobilize and empower its members to promote global health and wholeness from a christian perspective.

What it reported doing in 2024

Education and advocacy: ccih elevated awareness among governments, international organizations, nonprofits, and private organizations about faith-based organizations in international health. Ccih educated decision makers about policies and programs that improve the health and livelihood of people in developing countries. Topics included healthy timing and spacing of pregnancies (htsp) to improve the health of women and children, as well as strategies to improve global health services in facilities and communities. Ccih organized advocacy events on capitol hill, visited multiple congressional offices, carried out public webinars, published videos, articles, and facts sheets. Grants from private and public sources supported this education and advocacy in the u.s. And several countries.

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 91% 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
