Overview

Mission

The ihhs works to carry out its holistic mission through its programs that: educate healthcare professionals in optimal hyperhidrosis diagnosis and care, conduct or collaborate on research, increase the public's awareness about the condition's quality of life impacts, and that advocate for the sufferer's access to effective treatment and empathetic care.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization's primary programs share a common framework to improve the lives of those suffering with hyperhidrosis through education, research, awareness and advocacy to engage and benefit all members of the community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 83% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
