What it reported doing in 2024

PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHEMENTS FOR 2024- Villa offers short-term housing for those looking for a friendly and affordable place to stay. Since our doors opened in 1972, we have hosted over 28,000 residents from 179 countries. Located adjacent to the Emory University campus, our residents are primarily international researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and the Rollins School of Public Health at Emory. Many others, such as public health professionals of all varieties, interning doctors, students, and seminarians, have also called Villa home during their stay in Atlanta. Villa provides information, as well as, opportunities for fellowhip and learning between international residents and the local Atlanta community. Through numerous planned activities, including community dinners and group outings to local attractions, Villa residents experience Atlantas southern hospitality at its best.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% 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

STRONG - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
