Overview

Mission

To serve The People by honoring Native cultures, strengthening health and wellness programs, and cultivating community. We envision all Native peoples living balanced, prosperous, and healthy lives in diverse communities for Seven Generations.

What it reported doing in 2024

UICSL provides the following services to American Indians and Alaska natives: Medical services and health education - general health services, immunizations, diabetes wellness programs. Mental health services and counseling - youth and family counseling for family preservation, substance abuse, and domestic violence issues. Emergency assistance - emergency assistance and food supplies to assist individuals and families to become self-sufficient.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 95% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 98% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
