What Cerna Foundation does
Program
For the year of 2022 the Cerna Foundation raised funds to pay for the custodial care, case management, transportation, meals, pet care, supplies, and incidental expenses for a number of qualified recipients. The primary recipients of care were two young men that received massive brain trauma due to accidents. This care was primarily at the residence of their families after being moved from the hospital to a home setting.
$15,000 spent
The program described on its FY2022 Form 990-PF.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2021 to 2022, from $806 to $0 (−100%).
Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
