Overview

Mission

To provide a range of services similar to that of a small municipality: front-line health responders, health care, social services, public safety, lands management, employment training and more.

What it reported doing in 2024

Health and social services: accounts for activities associated with clinical care, training and provision for community health aides in service areas, diabetes prevention services, tobacco prevention and control, maternal/child health and wellness.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 80% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and liabilities are high compared with assets.
