Overview
Mission
We work with individuals, organizations, and communities, locally, regionally, and nationally, providing education and training, leadership and skills development for leaders and managers, and a variety of critical thinking and emotional intelligence workshops. In addition, we conduct research on best health and social practices on the social determinants of health and develop and disseminate articles, contribute to organizations' online newsletters, and offer data analyses collected via research surveys and focus groups to communities and organizations. We also offer pro bono coaching to other nonprofit organizations and their staff members and boards, work with local middle and high school youth, and homeless service providers collecting and distributing over-the-counter health and hygiene products. We served approximately 7200 individuals. Additional details are available in Schedule O.
What it reported doing in 2024
Continued to support and partner with regard to ongoing local, state, and national opportunities for building community coalitions and engaging in extensive networking events and seminars for community development and capacity building. This included topics of gender, cultural, and racial health disparities, with an emphasis on maternal health opportunities aligned with coalition building, community development, networking, and capacity building. Topics included pervasive black maternal and child health conditions locally and regionally as had been reported in research journals and other media. Total program expenses were $10,825. Please see additional details on Schedule O.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 67% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
