Overview

Mission

Empowering leaders, advancing compliance, and supporting excellence in health and human services.

What it reported doing in 2025

Provide governance and leadership development training/consultation, establish and maintain shared service programs and offer networking opportunities for health and human service nonprofits.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 90% 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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
