Overview

Mission

Crosslink exists to equip medical mission teams so they can share the Gospel as they go.

What it reported doing in 2025

Program service expenses consist primarily of medicines purchased for mission teams and the shipping of donated medical supplies. Expenses also include training consultation ministry development and field assessment visits that support current and future medical mission opportunities.

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 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
