Overview
Mission
Voluntary health organizations
What it reported doing in 2025
Health and wellness education programs were provided to the community. We donated plants and seeds for food sustainability program. The distribution of seeds and gardening was enough to served people in three other organizations. There were school supplies giveaways. Donations consisted of 98 backpacks and 200 socks.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 80% of the money available for current operations came from other operating 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
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
