Overview
Mission
When help can't wait exists to supply very current needs for the comfort and convenience of nursing home residents that cannot be readily funded by the facility where they reside.
What it reported doing in 2022
Program services included providing clothing, toiletries, games and entertainment to improve the lives of individuals in nursing homes. For those in need, medical assistance is provided through hearing AIDS, dentist visits, and medical equipment. Programs also included providing computer areas, outside patio areas for gardening as well as "spa services" which all help to improve the quality of life for the elderly.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 64% 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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
