Overview
Mission
Our organization raises money and donates it to Medical Mission Organizations to help pay for the personal cost of sending a nurse on a medical mission trip so that those nurses can save lives worldwide. Typically a Medical Mission Organization will require the nurse to pay $1,500 to $3,000 of their own money to go on a Medical Mission and our gifts to the Medical Mission Organizations help defer the cost that the nurse has to pay.
What it reported doing in 2025
Our organization helped to send 34 nurses on medical missions around the world like Uganda Philippines Honduras and Bolivia where medical services are needed the most.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
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.
