Overview

Mission

To deliver emergency medical care and humanitarian relief to vulnerable populations affected by conflict / disaster.

What it reported doing in 2025

Global Response Management (GRM) is a veteran-founded, U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to delivering emergency medical care and humanitarian relief to vulnerable populations affected by conflict and disaster. By integrating expertise from military, academic, and civilian sectors, GRM defines evidence-based response strategies for high-risk, low-resource environments with a focus on direct patient care, capacity building, and innovative partnerships. In 2025, GRM trained 129 clinicians and engaged 221 medical students across our programs in Iraq and Ukraine, working with 9 institutions. Key accomplishments included: Iraq Emergency Medicine Program: Trained 20 junior physicians in Northern Iraq in emergency care and life support . STORM-2 Surgical Teams Course (Ukraine): Trained 60 physicians, surgeons, and medics in damage-control resuscitation and surgery across three sessions (March, July, November), in partnership with UNC and University of Florida trauma teams. Brain-Health Bridge: Built an ongoing clinical partnership between Ukrainian physicians and Home Base/Massachusetts General Brigham on traumatic brain injury and mental health, including expansion of the Mask Program art therapy to the Kyiv Mental Health Center. Medical Education Sustainability (Ukraine): Dr. Steve Donnellys team enrolled 221 medical students who logged over 1,000 monthly vital-sign transmissions via a telehealth training project with Klats Medical Education; convened a November symposium training 49 clinicians on trauma and burn wound management with the WHO and Ukraines Ministry of Health . Policy Impact: GRM-developed Mass Casualty Incident Burn Care guidelines were adopted as official protocol by the Ukraine Ministry of Health; GRM also contributed to a national trauma arrival checklist and patient-transfer tool developed with the WHO.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
