What it reported doing in 2024
Community health: siloam addresses the social determinants of health that underlie medical challenges through its community health programs. Our community health worker program equips and deploys trusted individuals from local arabic and spanish-speaking communities to address patients' daily life struggles and needs such as social isolation, medical mistrust, chronic disease management, and healthcare navigation. Siloam also provides health education to newly arrived refugee families through our nashville neighbors program, which pairs volunteer groups with newly arrived refugee families to complete a 6-month health education curriculum, ensure a healthy transition, and to build friendships across cultures.
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 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.
