Overview

Mission

Raise funds and public awareness for federated health-related not-for-profit organizations through workplace (payroll deduction) giving programs.

What it reported doing in 2014

Chronic or life-threatening illness touches more than 125 million americans. One in four members of the national workforce has a family member suffering from a condition supported by one of our member agencies. This is why community health charities and its member health agencies are dedicated to alleviating suffering and finding cures by conducting workplace giving campaigns.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 83% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
