Overview

Mission

To support and empower local health departments in their work to promote health and wellness and prevent disease, disability and injury throughout New York state.

What it reported doing in 2024

Vaccine equity grant - supports the provision of education on the value of preventing communicable disease, including covid, through increasing immunization rates with a focus on reducing health disparities and improving health equity in New York state.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 76% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
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

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
