Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Providing critical surgical care to children around the world while advancing education and training towards medical sufficiency in their communities.

  • Overseas Surgical Missions - Volunteer surgical teams are deployed throughout the world via our Overseas Surgical Missions program to provide quality surgical care, train surgical providers, advance surgical knowledge and information translation, and foster local capacity building and self-sustainment. $1,820,047 worth of in-kind donations including volunteer medical team service hours, surgical equipment rentals, and medical supplies were donated and used on Overseas Surgical Mission trips.

    Expenses $1,353,517

  • Individual Surgical Care - Our Individual Surgical Care (ISC) program allows children to travel with a family member to trusted partner hospitals in India, Israel, Canada, or the United States to receive complex surgical care they could never receive in their home countries.ISC U.S. targets children with greater surgical needs who require more complex care. The identified children are then flown to the United States for surgery. Throughout their stay, they are nurtured and cared for by a local and loving host family. $56,980 worth of in-kind donations including hospital discounts and airfare for patients and families were donated and used in ISC U.S. and ISC International programs.

    Expenses $133,020

  • U.S. Hometown Missions - Our expanding U.S. Hometown Missions across the nation provide free surgeries to kids from underserved communities and those who have been denied coverage from the government and/or their private insurance companies. In 2019, we initiated our new program Mend U.S., an expansion of our Hometown Mission program that allows qualifying patients across the United States to have year-round access and assistance to outpatient surgeries.

    Expenses $2,230

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
