Overview

Mission

To unite caring donors in the workplace with our nation's most trusted health charities. We work on behalf of health charities and employers to provide individuals in the workplace opportunities to volunteer, participate in health and wellness programs/services and opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2014

The organization conducts coordinated fundraising campaigns among government and corporate employees for the benefit of member charitable organizations on a quarterly basis. The member agencies' mission include activities relevant to medical research, patient services and educational programs. Allocations are based on designations received from the donor.

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 69% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
