Overview

Mission

The Organizations mission is to improve health care delivery to underserved populations globally through research, training, clinical care and strenghtening the health system.

What it reported doing in 2024

Collaborate with The Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) to improve healthcare delivery through the AIRS (Africa Infrastructure Relief and Support) Project. Ensure the provision of stable, sustainable medical oxygen to patients across the African countries of Sierra Leone, Liberia and the Gambia by developing & installing oxygen-generating plants, upkeeping solar panels for continuous power supply, fitting oxygen piping within facility walls, and providing comprehensive biomedical training to local personel so they may properly operate the systems to ensure sustainable benefits into the foreseeable future. The ultimate objective is to expand this initiative to encompass additional African countries as additional grant funding becomes available.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
