Overview

Mission

To provide free health-sustaining prescription medications to lower-income, uninsured Texans.

What it reported doing in 2024

The St. Vincent de Paul Pharmacy, which opened in 2018, is the first free-standing pharmacy in the state of Texas that provides lifesaving medications to the uninsured free of charge. Many residents of Texas cannot afford the necessary prescription medications to maintain their chronic, treatable conditions like diabetes, asthma and heart disease. The inability to sustain health affects the ability to maintain steady employment, care for family and escape poverty. It also contributes to increased costs across the health care system as unreimbursed emergency services become primary health care for those who cannot afford medication. We exist to serve those who cannot afford to sustain their health. The Pharmacy provided 91,975 30-day equivalent prescriptions to 3,598 unique patients free of charge with a total value of $30,343,947 (Average Wholesale Pricing valuation method).

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 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
