Our nonprofit members generally have at minimum 3.6-3.7 GPA. We tend to discount the GPA when the potential candidate excels in other areas in the evaluation process.

This includes high leadership roles and active involvement on campus, athletic involvement at the intercollegiate level, and other notable achievements in extracurricular activities such as in academic research with publications.

We also contextualize the GPA requirement based on the student’s future plans upon graduation such as medical school, dental school, pharmacy school, business school, or other graduate programs that require certain GPA ranges.

This varies depending on the member role, timing in the semester or quarter, and growth stage of the chapter.

Our members generally spend 2-5 hours per week on average in planning, scheduling, and executing the health programmes with certain metric objectives to obtain and measure impact levels. Student leaders tend to spend 5-10 hours per week coordinating and leading their leadership teams. Founding presidents may spent up to 20 hours per week to recruit his founding leadership team as he or she is required to make presentations to his or her peers, interview potential candidates, and lead meetings to unite his team towards a common goal and mission.

Great time commitment is required early on in the semesters and quarter with member recruitment and health programme launches. It may also increase leading up to campus-wide events.

We rely on membership dues, private charitable donations, and long-term investments. All of the nonprofit revenue (100% of total fundraising) is re-invested into building, improving, and expanding the impact and reach of our health programs.

Membership dues from each member are required to further sustain the growth and success of our national health project. We have continued to grow at a steady pace over the years across many college chapters through the steadfast, growing support from our own existing and new nonprofit members.

The membership dues are per fall and spring semesters (equivalent to fall and winter quarters) range from $85 – $100 depending on the founding stage, growth stage, and mature stage with gradual decrease in dues with the expansion of our college chapters. However, our members have the option to fully subsidize their membership dues up to 100 hundred percent with fundraising activities directly aligned with our health project to accommodate all students from various socioeconomic backgrounds.

Private donations are channeled directly into the operational expenses that include legal fees, accounting fees, administrative fees, technology related server fees, and marketing and advertising costs. Remaining funds are re-invested into covering the licensing fees for our health program platform.

The nonprofit directors decided to engage in long-term investments as relates to the current and future health program(s) in consultation with legal counsel to offset and alleviate the financial burden from the aforementioned revenue streams.

Federal and state grants, medical and public health grants, and other related public health grants are future avenues that will be utilized over time.

We are more than happy to support our nonprofit members in their pursuit of higher education or in the support of financial assistance through scholarships and fellowships. We detail the level of involvement and commitment during his or her time at the nonprofit. We also rank our nonprofit members relative to all former and current nonprofit student members in the organization and describe his or her contributions to the organization.

We are a federally recognized not-for-profit organization since 2011. We have officially received the 501(c)(3) tax exemption code at the federal and state levels since inception. If you have any questions or would like to make a charitable donation, please email us at hello@healthguardians.org in regard to the tax exemption as a nonprofit organization.
