What Vna Health does
Mission
Vna Health provides home health and hospice services to patients in santa barbara and the surrounding area.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
The home health program offers care at home. Being at home offers the greatest comfort, especially when recovering from an injury or surgery or managing an acute or chronic health condition. In collaboration with the patient's physician, the home health care program combines the newest advances in technology in the provision of home health services (skilled nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, medical social work, and certified home health aide services) and traditional compassionate care to enhance a patient's health, independence and quality of life.
$10,677,124 spent$11,116,611 earned by the program39% of program spendingHospice care is when curative treatments are no longer beneficial, and the patient's life expectancy is about six months or less, then hospice care is an option. The focus of care shifts from treating the disease to caring for the patient - managing pain and symptoms - to provide comfort and a quality of life. Vna Health provides patient-centered and family-centered care customized to the patient's needs, values, and choices. Vna Health also provides a holistic approach to care for the patient's physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Vna Health believes that at any age or stage in life, every person lives with health and dignity.

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 2022 to 2023, from $7.0M to $5.7M (−18%).
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: 2020 3% · 2021 1%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
6% of VNA HEALTH’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (7% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 6 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 15 funders, grant income rose $132k → $266k.
4 of 38 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 VNA HEALTH’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 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
VNA HEALTH has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% 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
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 38% · 2018 31% · 2019 23% · 2020 34% · 2021 29% · 2022 27% · 2023 23% — 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
42% of VNA HEALTH's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
75% of VNA HEALTH's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $226k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
Against its field
VNA HEALTH runs a healthier operating margin than half of the 4,580 health nonprofits its size.
