Overview

Mission

We help people through education, advocacy, and empowerment. Our philosophy bridges conventional, holistic, and indigenous medical systems. Healing includes the body, mind, and spirit. It also includes the individual, their family, the community, and nature.

Right to Heal Achievements: Teaching educational courses, offering one-on-one coaching and educational appointments, creating free educational content in various formats, and held in-person retreats for personal growth.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and assets have declined or grown slowly.
