Overview
Mission
The North American Burn Society (NABS) was founded in 1983 by a group of professionals involved in the medical care of individuals who sustained a burn wound injury. Charter members consisted of burn surgeons, nurses and researchers whose products were utilized in the burn community. Over time this group has expanded to include all members of the burn team: surgeons, nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, child life specialists, PhD researchers both academic and corporate, sales representatives, fire fighters, and physicians in the field of psychology, psychiatry and rehabilitation medicine. The primary purpose of NABS is to provide an educational forum once per year in a relaxed atmosphere which fosters camaraderie among a group of healthcare providers whose primary focus is devoted to the improvement of care among individuals who have a life-changing injury.
What it reported doing in 2024
Education of the burn care community. Scholarships are provided to support surgeons-in-training and non-surgeon healthcare providers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% 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. Reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
