What Team Uncle Joe does
Mission
Team Uncle Joe is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of individuals with Congenital Heart Disease (CHD) by providing accessible, patient-centered education, resources, and support that promote informed healthcare decision-making and self-advocacy. We equip CHD patients and their families with the tools they need to understand, navigate, and manage their condition throughout the lifespan. Through free or low-cost programs, including digital resources, peer-informed educational content, and healthcare navigation support, we empower patients to become confident participants in their care. Team Uncle Joe also works to reduce disparities in access to CHD information by tailoring resources to meet the needs of underrepresented communities, including individuals with low health literacy or those facing systemic barriers to care. Services are provided free whenever feasible. When costs exceed our capacity, we disclose them and charge only the actual expense incurred.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
In 2024, our virtual Patient Navigator Program continued to assist adults with CHD in navigating complex healthcare systems and understanding their condition. We provided individualized support to five patient-clients, helping them prepare for appointments, interpret test results, and access appropriate CHD care. All services were provided at no cost to patients. We also continued to distribute our Advanced Care Planning Workbook for Adult CHD Patients, the only known workbook specifically designed to help this population make informed decisions about future healthcare. The workbook is freely available, allowing patients to consider their values and preferences when planning for their medical care. The publication has been downloaded and shared by both patients and providers as a valuable tool in improving patient-provider communication.
$2,214 spent46% of program spendingIn 2024, we partnered with UCSF, Dr. Anushree (Anu) Agarwal, and Dr. Huie Lin to submit a new Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) funding application to continue and expand the work of the ACHD Roundtable-a multi-stakeholder collaborative composed of patients, clinicians, and researchers from across Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Initially launched with support from Houston Methodist, the ACHD Roundtable has evolved into a sustained initiative to develop patient-prioritized research questions in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). Our role encompasses patient recruitment, stakeholder engagement, and the development of digital infrastructure, including website creation and content development. This ongoing work strengthens the foundation for meaningful patient involvement in research and promotes equitable representation in ACHD studies throughout the South-Central U.S.
$1,967 spent41% of program spendingIn 2024, Dr. Anushree (Anu) Agarwal at UCSF launched EmpowerMyCH, an NIH-funded digital health study designed to support adults living with congenital heart disease (CHD) in navigating their care. Team Uncle Joe serves as an ongoing partner organization for the project, contributing to intervention design, user engagement strategies, and content development. As part of our collaboration, we helped disseminate patient-centered educational content and supported the distribution of our Advanced Care Planning (ACP) Workbook for Adult CHD Patients through the EmpowerMyCH platform. EmpowerMyCH delivers bi-monthly, CHD-specific modules covering care team selection, appointment preparation, test understanding, symptom management, and more-all provided free of charge to participants.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 $10k to $33k (+243%).
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.
0% of TEAM UNCLE JOE’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $145 → $64.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 TEAM UNCLE JOE’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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.
Where its funders are
100% of TEAM UNCLE JOE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $209 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
