Overview

Mission

Restoring hope and providing a brighter future to those whose lives are burdened by cleft lip, cleft palate and other deformities. The organization provides free surgical care for impoverished children in "developing world" countries.

We perform surgical missions to provide cleft lip, palate, and hand surgeries. In 2025, we performed 2 missions to the dominican republic and the philippines. In the dominican republic, we perforemd 50 surgeries on 47 patients. In the philippines, we performed 63 surgeries on 55 patients.

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 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
