What it says it does

The For Elysa Foundation is established to provide education, light, and research with a goal of prevention of pediatric sudden cardiac arrest. Grants from our foundation fund pediatric specific myocarditis clinical research, with a goal of improving diagnosis and treatment of children with this unique condition. Additional grant money funded AED units and CPR training for a local school and youth dance program. Funding was also provided to support mental health counseling for individuals with pediatric cardiac diagnoses and their families. Our foundation granted gift cards and small gifts to children in hospitals across the country to provide light and hope during health challenges.

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.

Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.
