Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Programs described in its return (3)
- EDUCATION AND AWARENESS: STATE AND FED POLICY MAKERS, MEETINGS:THE ALLIANCE WORKED CLOSELY WITH LEGISLATORS AND STAKEHOLDERS IN DELAWARE, KANSAS, MINNESOTA, OHIO, NEW JERSEY, NEW YORK, AND VERMONT IN ADVOCATING FOR THE INTERESTS OF MEMBER MINISTRIES AND THEIR MEMBERS IN THOSE STATES. FURTHER, THE ALLIANCE PARTICIPATED IN DOZENS OF EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS WITH LEGISLATIVE STAFF IN THE CONGRESS AND ENGAGED IN THE REGULATORY PROCESSES THROUGH TESTIMONY AND WRITTEN PUBLIC COMMENT ON A FEW RELEVANT RULEMAKINGS AND LEGISLATIVE PROPOSALS. THE ALLIANCE ALSO WORKED WITH STATE LEGISLATORS TO ENACT IMPORTANT LAWS PROTECTING THE FREEDOM OF HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES TO EXERCISE THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM.
- ENGAGING WITH EARNED MEDIA PLATFORMS AND SOCIAL MEDIA:PLACED OP-EDS, LETTERS TO THE EDITOR AND PARTICIPATED IN RADIO INTERVIEWS IN STATE AND NATIONAL MARKETS, AS WELL AS SOCIAL MEDIA OUTREACH.
- CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGES AND LITIGATION:ON MAY 16, 2024, AFTER YEARS OF WORKING IN GOOD FAITH WITH COLORADO, THE ALLIANCE WAS FORCED TO BRING LEGAL ACTION TO DEFEND THE RIGHTS OF ITS MEMBER MINISTRIES AND THEIR MEMBERS TO EXERCISE THEIR RELIGIOUS LIBERTY IN THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM. HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES (HCSMS) HELP FACILITATE THE SHARING OF MEDICAL EXPENSES AMONG A COMMUNITY OF RELIGIOUS BELIEVERS. THE COMPLAINT MARSHALS SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE THAT COLORADO IS SELECTIVELY TARGETING HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES BECAUSE OF THEIR RELIGIOUS BELIEFS WHILE LEAVING SIMILAR SECULAR ACTIVITIES UNTOUCHED. THE COMPLAINT ALSO MARSHALS SIGNIFICANT EVIDENCE THAT THE COLORADO REGIME WILL HARM HEALTH CARE SHARING MINISTRIES AND THEIR MEMBERS, WITHOUT SUFFICIENT JUSTIFICATON. NO OTHER STATE HAS THE SAME REGIME AS COLORADO. CONSEQUENTLY, THE COMPLAINT ALLEGES THAT COLORADO IS VIOLATING THE FIRST AMENDMENT IN FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS. FIRST, IT VIOLATES THE FREE EXERCISE RIGHTS OF MINISTRIES TO BE FREE FROM LAWS THAT ALLOW STATE OFFICIALS TO EXEMPT THEIR FAVORED ORGANIZATIONS. SECOND, IT VIOLATES THE FREE EXERCISE RIGHTS OF MINISTRIES TO BE FREE FROM LAWS THAT TARGET RELIGIOUS EXERCISE AND THAT DO NOT TREAT COMPARABLE SECULAR ACTIVITES SIMILARLY TO RELIGIOUS ACTIVITES. THIRD, IT VIOLATES THE ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE RIGHTS OF MINISTRIES TO BE FREE FROM EXCESSIVE ENTANGLEMENT AND CONTINUOUS MONITORING BY THE GOVERNMENT. FOURTH, IT VIOLATES THE FREEDOM OF ASSOCIATION RIGHTS OF MINISTRIES NOT TO DISCLOSE WITH WHOM THEY AFFILIATE AND ASSOCIATE. FINALLY, IT VIOLATES THE FREE SPEECH RIGHTS OF MINISTRIES WITH RESPECT TO THEIR RELIGIOUS SPEECH TO THEIR MEMBERS AND PROSPECTVE MEMBERS. THE CASE IS NOW BEFORE THE TENTH CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS.
