Overview
Mission
Partners Aligned Toward Health brings people together to identify and address community needs to improve the health and well-being of children and families.
What it reported doing in 2024
To bridge information sharing with the broader community, PATH established and operated a public information and volunteer dispatch center at the Burnsville Town Center, running it seven days a week for about a month. The team coordinated around 600 volunteers, primarily to support the distribution of food, water, clothing, and emergency supplies. PATH staff dispatched them twice daily to more than a dozen sites across the county, while continuing to play an essential role in public information efforts. Through every step of this crisis, PATH remained at the center of community coordination, rapidly identifying needs, mobilizing volunteers, coordinating with community partners to provide aid, and delivering resources to those impacted by Hurricane Helene. PATH was honored to play our role in these efforts. As immediate flood relief transitioned to recovery, we stepped back into our programs with strengthened resolve and a renewed appreciation for the relationships that sustain and strengthen our work.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 94% 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 most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
