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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. $27,446 spent. After documenting proof the power USBloodDonors.org has to increase blood donations in the State of Utah; then later building a cadre of 'standby' donor/social media (word-of-mouth) volunteers in Utah and California; we focused on engaging major U.S. CEOs with help from our Advisory Board members with national (and international) influence. We succeeded in getting the attention of a major U.S. (and world) employer with hundreds of thousands of employees. Ours and their security teams worked together as the next step, verifying the security of our internet arm. Yet after the major CEO's assigned lieutenant finished a sabbatical, she unceremoniously dropped our joint project. Aforesaid Advisory Board members, along with the Executive Director, continue in our efforts to involve one, or hopefully more, of the nation's most influential people with us, to use our shared need of blood and blood-related donations to engage a majority of U.S. residents in our 'standby donor', lifesaving, life-improving plan. Using a Nobel laureate's math in connection with renowned U.S. surgeons and our USBD plan, said influential people could save and improve tens of thousands of lives in the short-term (less than one year) with as little as one phone call. Moreover, utilizing that same Nobel math, billions of dollars can be saved on U.S. healthcare to begin to reverse the unsustainable, skyrocketing U.S. Federal debt. In time, using this same 'standby donor' concept in other nations, with appropriate name changes, millions of lives can be saved and improved, saving trillions of dollars in healthcare costs/national budgets. Due to input from one of our influential Advisory Board members, we began using AI in our approaches.
