Overview
Mission
While african american and latinx individuals represent 13% and 18% of the u. S. Population respectively, they are dramatically under-represented as providers within the healthcare system in general, and gastroenterology in particular. With only 4% of practicing gastroenterologists identifying as african american and only 5% identifying as latinx, in the absence of meaningful change, the field of gastroenterology will struggle to provide effective, equitable, and culturally conscious care to a growing population in need of it. To address this critical deficit in the diversity of providers, gastrocares seeks to inspire motivated individuals to pursue careers in medicine through early exposure to physician role models, mentors, and hands-on experiences.
What it reported doing in 2025
The major program is the internship program. In pursuit of our mission, gastrocares has developed several cornerstone projects geared towards high school and college students. This includes a partnership with high schools in Washington dc comprised of predominantly african american and latinx students.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
