Overview
Mission
Educational Public Charity
What it reported doing in 2025
On-site fetal cardiac screening training for individual learners and OB practices who lack access to training. We launched fetal cardiac screening tutorials and piloted a new model for providing training services across the country
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 70% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and expenses are high relative to revenue.
