Impact & Measurement
Score
98
This beacon estimates the actual impact a charity has on the lives of those it serves, and determines whether it is making good use of donor resources to achieve that impact.
$113,835 total costs / $113,835 of financial assistance provided = roughly $1 provides a dollar's worth of financial assistance to a patient. [2021 USD]
Program Context
HRT Access Program: This program provides financial assistance directly to patients and their families.
Data Time Period
1/24/22 to 1/24/23
Benchmark for Scoring
Impact scores of financial assistance to patients programs are based on income generated relative to cost. Programs receive an Impact score of 100 if they increase income for a recipient by more than $2 for every $1 spent and a score of 80 if income increases by more than $1.25 for every $1 spent. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 65. This program increases income for a patient with medical conditions by more than $2 for every $1 spent.
Methodology
This impact score was determined through the Financial Assistance for Medical Patients methodology which is fully detailed in the Charity Navigator Guide to Ratings. Analysis conducted in 2023 by Charity Navigator using data submitted by the nonprofit, theory and evidence from scientific research studies, and public datasets.
Data Source
