Overview

Mission

Health Connected equips young people and trusted adults with knowledge and skills to thoughtfully navigate the intersections of relationships, bodies, and digital well-being.

What it reported doing in 2024

Parent Services: Recognizing that sexual health education extends well beyond the classroom, Health Connected provides workshops and informational sessions for parents to learn about the information presented in classrooms and help build their skills and confidence as they engage in ongoing conversations about sexual health and relationships with their kids at home. During the 2024-2025 school year, Health Connected served 4,316 parents across California through the Parent Services Program.

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

STRONG - 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 total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
