Overview

Mission

Hope for a healthier humanity foundation, inc. Was established in march 2001, for the purpose of providing assistance and training to third world countries to improve their healthcare planning and delivery systems. This support focuses on assisting them to achieve a better utilization of the limited healthcare resources within their native countries, as well as within the united states, thereby reducing the dependency on donations and charity and increasing their self-sufficiency.

What it reported doing in 2025

Hope for a healthier humanity foundation, inc. (hhh) uses funds to engage in international medical, dental and nursing mission trips to various countries in latin america and does so as part of a formal educational and clinical/demonstration training effort. Hhh is concerned about two targets: the nursing, medical and dental education of the peoples of the caribbean and latin america, as pertaining to the health of women and children and those at risk of poor health; and secondly, community health education and advocacy, targeting the prevention and spread of communicable diseases. During 2025, hhh collected 6,245,992 in donated supplies and equipment that were delivered to the countries being serviced by hhh. Various medical professionals donated their services for several mission trips. The value of those services was 2,323,750 in 2025.

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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
