Overview

Mission

Chronic illness recovery exists to promote and support recovery from chronic illness through physician services, patient counseling, informational materials, seminars, research and participation in public health policy design.

What it reported doing in 2024

In 2024, chronic illness recovery provided guidance to patients in its counseling program, supplementing care from their physicians. The service delivered information and support between medical appointments, including assistance with managing symptoms, self-assessment of symptoms, coping with chronic illness-related stressors, organizing medications, and monitoring progress on inflammation therapy. Communication with prescribing physicians occurred as needed, and scientific references were offered for educational purposes. The organization also provided complimentary consultation and corresponded with individuals worldwide through email or phone regarding its services.

Operating model

Revenue model
Investment-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from recurring investment income.
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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
