Overview

Mission

Tghi advances global public health by ensuring equitable, sustainable access to open bioinformatics and genomic analysis tools that strengthen pathogen surveillance and response worldwide.

What it reported doing in 2024

Tghi's work centered on transitioning and maintaining the cz gen epi bioinformatics platform - an open, cloud-based tool for genomic epidemiology. Tghi does not currently employ paid staff. All organizational and programmatic work during 2024 was performed on a volunteer basis by members of the board of directors and a small number of volunteer contributors from theiagen genomics, who provided technical, administrative, and program development support aligned with tghi's charitable mission. Volunteer activities during 2024 included: establishing the nonprofit's governance structure and obtaining IRS 501(c)(3) public charity status (determination letter dated august 8, 2024); overseeing the grant-funded transition of the cz gen epi platform to tghi management to ensure continuity for global public health users; rebranded as theiagenepi; conducting program planning, stakeholder engagement, and coordination with czif and theiagen genomics to prepare for platform migration and operational sustainability; providing initial financial oversight, compliance setup, and reporting preparation for 2024 grant and organizational filings.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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

MIXED - Most voting board members are independent and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
