Overview

Mission

Public health Education

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025 HCF continued operationally managing and expanding the partnership with CredibleMind, and conducted research into new areas of potential use and value of applying technology to improve health. Major projects include: - managing and growing the partnership with CredibleMind to improve the mental health and wellbeing of people in the US. - Developing a shared vision with the Grammys Museum of how to develop a curriculum for students of music and the healing power of music. - Conducted research into the uses of AI in public health - both for educational instruction and to assess safety of these applications. - Conducted research into the new uses of technology to improve sleep.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
