Overview

Mission

Our mission as part of a catholic health care system is to further the healing ministry of jesus by continually improving the health and well-being of all people, especially the poor, in the communities we serve.

What it reported doing in 2017

Gerard house, inc, is a private non-profit maternity home organized for the purpose of providing 24-hour residential services, education, counseling, case management and care programs for needy pregnant women and their babies. The program provides services upholding the principles of the catholic church, with emphasis on the poor and underserved teen mothers of the region. These services, which provide an alternative to abortion, are available for the full term of a pregnancy and for up to two months following the birth of the infant. During the fiscal year ended march 27, 2018, services were provided to 7 women ranging in age from 16 to 20 years, and 2 babies. Gerard house also coordinates distribution of infant care products and furnishings to those in the community that are in need that are never residents of the home. This includes continued education and ged programs, nutrition, parenting and health education programs.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 78% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
