Overview

Mission

Program for torture victims (ptv) assists the courageous survivors of state sponsored torture and persecution who have stood up for freedom, equality and human dignity.

What it reported doing in 2024

Medical care: survivors of torture who are new to the u.s. Are not eligible for government or workplace health coverage in their first year of residency. Many require immediate medical care due to injuries caused by human rights abuse or untreated chronic conditions. Ptv provides free and immediate outpatient medical care at our human rights clinic, including referrals to medical specialists in the fields of neurology, psychiatry, and gynecology, all at no cost to the clients. Emergency or trauma-related dental care is available through our partnerships with federally qualified healthcare providers. Ptv also provides medical forensic evaluations and professional court testimony.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 84% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
