What Coalition on Positive Health Empowerment Inc - Cope does
Mission
COPE is a community-based organization that develops and implements health education and promotion activities on viral hepatitis and other chronic diseases. COPE offers the following services to patients, the general public and health care and human services professionals Health Educatiion, Counselling Testing, Care Coordination Advocacy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
We hosted monthly educational workshops on Zoom and in person in partnership with the CUNY School of Public Health Community Health Initiative. Topics included the aging brain and dementia, HIV treatment updates, sexual health, PEP and PrEP, the Ask the Doctor series, colorectal cancer, and the importance of preventive screenings. While participants generally demonstrate strong HIV treatment adherence, many are aging and managing chronic conditions similar to those affecting the broader older adult population. As a result, they have requested more information on co-morbid chronic diseases.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $229k to $65k (−72%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 25% · 2022 74% · 2023 39% · 2024 44% · 2025 34%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
