Chcs and the chcs entities are committed to fulfilling the catholic mission common to each. The purposes and operations of chcs shall be carried out in conformity with the values and teachings of the roman catholic church and with the ethical and religious directives for catholic health care services of the national conference of catholic bishops as interpreted by the archbishop of new york.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

On its FY2024 return the organization reported a significant change in how it conducts a program.

Catholic special needs plan llc d/b/a archcare advantage ceased operations in 2024 as it decided to not renew their contract with medicare to provide managed care services.

Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).

  1. Chcs established as a self-insured trust for health insurance for itself and its affiliates in order to streamline system administration and control associated expenses. Chcs's administrative duties include the collection of health benefit premiums from the chcs institutions and payment of medical and pharmaceutical claims to the third party administrator for the program.

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 3 funders to 5 funders, grant income rose $23k → $4.8M.

3 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

Left out of every figure on this page: $998k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Catholic Health Care Foundation of the Archdiocese of New York Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM raised.

From the IRS filings of CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE SYSTEM leans on a few funders — its largest provides 95% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $37k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
