What Hepatitis B Initiative of Washington DC does
Mission
HBI-DCs mission is to mobilize communities to prevent liver diseases caused by viral hepatitis among Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, African immigrants, and other high-risk groups. Through collaborative partnerships, our organization provides culturally and linguistically appropriate viral hepatitis outreach, education, screening, Hep B vaccination, linkage to care, and patient navigation services for impacted communities. We also provide preventative health education for those who may be HIV co-infected and refer them to partnering organizations for additional screening, counseling, and care services.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

We began as the Hepatitis B Initiative, focused on raising awareness and providing screenings for a critical health issue affecting underserved populations. But over time, it became clear that testing alone was not enough. Communities were navigating far more than one condition. We saw chronic disease, hypertension, cholesterol concerns, diabetes, metabolic health challenges, infectious diseases beyond hepatitis B, and broader barriers such as housing instability, stigma, addiction, language access, and lack of insurance. The work had already grown beyond hepatitis B. Our name had not. So we made the decision to evolve the organization into the Health Betterment Initiative, to reflect the reality of what our communities needed and what we were committed to addressing. That evolution was not just about identity. It was about impact. In the early years, as was common across many nonprofits, services often stopped at delivery. Screening was provided, but…

The organization over time
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. 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 2023 to 2024, from $633k to $314k (−50%).
How it's funded, over time

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
