Overview

Mission

A community-based federation utilizing giving campaigns to unite caring donors in the workplace with our nation's most trusted health charities.

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
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 78% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
