Overview
Mission
Clues advances social and economuc equity and wellbeing for latinos by building upon our strengths and cultures, uplifting our community, and activating leadership for systemic change.
What it reported doing in 2024
Community health services (chs) focus on addressing health disparities affecting latino community members not only in themetropolitan area of minneapolis, st paul, and in some rural areas in southern Minnesota. Clues has a strong background working with the latino community around chronic disease prevention, policy, and systems and environmental (pse) change. Clues has led a strong coalition of latino leaders, local churches, community groups, cbo's, colleges, and local institutions committed to implement local pse changes among latino communities. Through the utilization of community health navigators, chs offers early interventions through education & access and promotes healthy behaviors among latino communities, families, and individuals. Community health workers disseminate health promotion and prevention education around tobacco cessation, exposure to secondhand smoke, diabetes prevention, drugs and alcohol, chronic disease self-management through the "tomando control de su salud" (taking control of your health) workshop model, healthy eating, active living, and sex education through a teen pregnancy prevention program. Specific interventions within community health services range from community engagement at large cultural, ethnic, religious events to one-on-one direct services through home visit education, tobacco cessation, and health care access. The chs department expanded its canasta familiar/ food popup program to allow east and west metro residents access to healthy and cultural food. Clues is currently serving approximately over 600 families weekly.
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 95% 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
STRONG - 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.
