Overview

Mission

The Right Connection Foundation connects uninsured patients to care in the moment they call 911. By funding smarter options, we reduce avoidable ER trips, free up EMS for real emergencies, and make care more accessible and affordable.

What it reported doing in 2025

When an uninsured patient calls 911, we step in so cost isn't a barrier. We help patients: see an ER telehealth physician, get to an urgent care clinic, fill a prescription when it matters most, and/or find solutions to social drivers of health (SDOH). Since inception, we have funded care for ~50 patients in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
