What it reported doing in 2024

Wiscaregiver careers is a grant-funded workforce development program administered by whca since 2020. The program is designed to address the certified nurse aide (cna) shortage in Wisconsin nursing homes by providing free cna training, free certification testing, and a 500 bonus. In 2022, whca successfully closed a 400,000 grant from the Wisconsin department of workforce development which funded the program from 2020-2022. Also in 2022, whca became sub-grantees on a 6 million cdc (centers for disease control and prevention) grant which funded the program from 2022-2024. Most of the grant funding is passed through whca to participating employers to reimburse them for their training and staff bonus expenses. Whca receives revenue from the cdc grant in the form of a 41% overhead fee charged to all staff hours covered by the grant. Whca continued working with wiscaregiver careers into april 2025, when whca no longer administered the grant.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and some related-organization disclosures are missing.
