Overview

Mission

Serving the courageous living with pulmonary hypertension through support, programs, education and research. We fund medical research and implement programming focused on removing patients from isolation, providing hope, and addressing and alleviating their unmet needs through financial support.

What it reported doing in 2024

Annual 2023 and 2024 phenomenal hope conference: knowledge, research & advocacy in ph is a symposium offering a combination of oral presentations, expert panel discussions, and poster sessions in an environment that fosters collaboration and a deeper exploration of pulmonary hypertension patient-centered research. Established experts, thought leaders, young investigators, and healthcare providers committed to advancing clinical science and care in the field of pulmonary hypertension attend and are offered the opportunity to share original research.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 74% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 86% 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.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
