Overview
Mission
The AVA Foundation is a public charity focused on education and research support to help save lives through risk-free vascular access. The foundation promotes evidence-based clinical practice and serves clinicians, students and vascular access patients and their families.
What it reported doing in 2024
The AVA Foundation provides grants for primary research to collect the data and evidence for best practices in vascular access care. By helping to develop evidence-based protocols, the AVA Foundation seeks to effectively improve patient outcomes by providing funds to healthcare practitioners to pursue higher education so they may deliver the highest level of vascular access care. Travel award scholarships are available to clinicians to attend the Association for Vascular Access (AVA) Annual Scientific Meeting. This meeting promotes hands-on involvement and education. The AVA Foundation also supports educational projects that promote quality vascular access care to patients.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
- 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.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
