What Medwish Medworks does
Mission
Medwish Medworks is a humanitarian nonprofit dedicated to advancing health equity and environmental sustainability. We achieve this by providing essential care, redistributing surplus medical supplies, and connecting medically underserved communities with vital resources, in northeast ohio and around the world.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
On september 1, 2024, the organization merged with medworks. Medworks is another not-for-profit organization that connects people who are uninsured or underinsured with healthcare and provides free medical, dental, vision, and women's health clinics. The name of the merged organization is Medwish Medworks.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
With the merger, all of the programming previously operated by medwish and medworks independently came under one roof. The main programs are now surplus medical supply and equipment collection and redistribution, free clinlics, and healthcare navigation services.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 3).
At the core of the Medwish Medworks mission and all of our programs is access ensuring that all individuals can access high-quality healthcare and essential resources. We are committed to breaking down barriers by offering free, accessible care through our local health clinics and international brigades and trustworthy connection to vital health resources, including supplies, equipment, insurance support, and community resource referrals. Our unique combination of programming remains unduplicated in our region, offering a cost-effective solution to medical scarcity and barriers to access.

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 $9.1M to $7.1M (−21%).
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: 2022 1% · 2023 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
95% of MEDWISH MEDWORKS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 6 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 14 funders to 36 funders, grant income rose $89k → $563k.
9 of 76 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 35% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of MEDWISH MEDWORKS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 76 funders by total. 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
MEDWISH MEDWORKS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 24% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
46% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MEDWISH MEDWORKS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 28% · 2018 47% · 2019 37% · 2020 32% · 2021 36% · 2022 20% · 2023 25% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
55% of MEDWISH MEDWORKS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
82% of MEDWISH MEDWORKS's grant income comes from Ohio funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $1.2M arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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. 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.
