Overview

Mission

Tpirc is a non-profit clinical care and research center that focuses on the development of cutting-edge, individualized treatment protocols for rare and orphan diseases utilizing comprehensive diagnostic tools and patient driven research. Our mission is two-fold to advance treatment discovery at a pace which helps our patients today, while building a scalable model of success to accelerate the rate of research discovery for all diseases.

What it reported doing in 2024

The center operates a rare disease-specific institute that combines basic/transational research, cutting-edge clinical care and advocacy (disease education and awareness, and fundraising) under one physical structure in long beach, California. The center focuses on five medical conditions: adult cystic fibrosis, food allergy and intolerance, bronchiectasis, immune deficiency, and airway inflammatory disorders.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 92% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
