Overview

Mission

The corporation is operated to support the functions of university hospitals cleveland medical center and the cleveland clinic foundation which are both tax exempt entities under section 501(c)(3) of the IRS code.

What it reported doing in 2024

The corporation holds title to and operates the w.o. Walker center, a building in which its member organizations provide rehabilitation services in performance of the members exempt functions (i.e., the promotion of health).

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 97% 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

MIXED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of voting board members are independent and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
