Overview
Mission
Ryan house provides family respite services and end-of-life care to Arizona children with life-limiting conditions from diagnosis through death, easing pain & suffering while improving quality of life for the entire family. A national leader in pediatric palliative care, we are the only facility of its kind in Arizona & one of three in the country.
What it reported doing in 2024
Respite: ryan house provides family respite services to Arizona children with life- limiting and terminal conditions. Respite care is a gift of time; short- term overnight stays allow families to take critical breaks from the physical, emotional, psycho-social stress and around-the-clock challenges of caring for a child who is medically complex. It is the solution for renewed energies, as regular "time off" is essential to prevent family fatigue and breakdown and costly emergency room visits for emergency respite. Care is concurrent with curative treatments and coordinated with the child's primary care physician. Ryan house offers resources and support programs for siblings to interact with other children whose brothers and sisters have similar needs. At ryan house, children and families can receive up to 28 days of respite care per year at no cost to the family. Six individual bedrooms and one family suite are available for family respite services. During fiscal year 2025, 136 children received family respite services and 1,425 days of respite care were provided.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 76% 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.
- 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.
