Overview

Mission

Met Eds mission is to improve lives through education of clinicians, patients, and families in the control and management of chronic disease and disability.

What it reported doing in 2024

MU 11.2024 Expenses - An interactive, didactic program designed to provide training to dieticians and other medical professionals working in the field of inborn errors of metabolism. The workshop focused heavily on expereince-based small group participation and discussion, diet calculations, and counseling in a digital learning format.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 71% 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 the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
