Voluntary Health Organizations

NAICS 813212 · Religious, Grantmaking, Civic, Professional and Similar Organizations · SBA size standard: $34 million average annual receipts

Voluntary health organizations raise funds, recruit volunteers, manage grants, run awareness campaigns, coordinate patient support programs and maintain compliance with charitable solicitation rules. For a group that runs seasonal fundraisers, patient assistance grants and monthly support groups, the specialists turn donor messages into tracked gifts, applications into reviewed grant packets, event signups into volunteer schedules, and campaign performance into reports while the program director confirms all disbursements, messaging and regulatory filings.
