What Social and Health Research Center Inc does
Mission
The center's mission is to understand the causes of obesity and type 2 diabetes in youth and to implement early age evidence based programs to prevent both diseases. The most significant activities were reports showing that the center's school health programs decreased obesity rates and blood glucose levels in high risk children. The social and health research center is a not-for-profit center committed to the social and health well-being of populations at-risk. The bienestar/neema health program is a bilingual school-based health program (k-8th) that aims to decrease dietary fat, to increase physical fitness levels, to prevent obesity, and to prevent diabetes. The health program is research-based and implements k-8th grade learning activities from a social cognitive theory.

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 2018 to 2019, from $317k to $2.0M (+537%).
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 2% · 2023 83% · 2024 30%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
