Overview

Mission

Education, creation, and expansion of programs and specialized projects addressing health, socio-economic, environmental, and systemic changes and disparties facing people of color and other vulnerable communities.

What it reported doing in 2023

Program wherein appalachian state and county policymakers and providers will have become more aware of the challenges of appalachian social determinants of health, inclusive of cultural barriers, to more precisely create, and develop new interventions and resources that reduce barriers to health care access and utilization as it relates to cancer, hcv, HIV, and sud, and other emerging health concerns.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 63% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
