Globus Relief

Summary

Globus Relief recovers surplus medical supplies and equipment from the U.S. healthcare system and distributes them to underserved clinics internationally (about page). The IRS legal name is Globous Relief Fund (EIN 84-1369453), a Salt Lake City 501(c)(3) since May 1998, NTEE category Nonmonetary Support (Form 990 record).

The organization's site claims 160+ countries served, 850+ partner charities, and $1 Billion in cumulative medical supplies given since 1998 (about page) — self-reported lifetime marketing figures.

Impact

Primary-tier FY ending Dec. 2024 financials show $5.09M revenue and $9.85M expenses with $2.58M net assets (Form 990 record). Revenue combined $3.34M contributions (65.7%), $1.12M program services (21.9%), and $612K net inventory sales (12.0%) — consistent with a logistics nonprofit moving donated goods, not only cash grants. Filings attach Schedule M (noncash contributions), but ProPublica's HTML summary does not extract in-kind dollar lines, so the wiki cannot yet quote a primary-tier in-kind total from this capture alone.

That gap matters because the website's $1 Billion headline is not reconciled to any captured 990 line. The brochure metric and the regulator filing measure different things (lifetime in-kind throughput vs. annual cash-basis revenue/expense), but without Schedule M text the page cannot assert the billion-dollar claim beyond attribution.

The organization markets administrative and fundraising expenses below 1% and 100% of donations to programs because overhead is "already paid for" (about page). The Dec. 2024 990 extract lists Daniel Henrie (CEO) at $132,000 and Chase Henrie (Srn Director) at $115,600 against $9.85M total expenses (Form 990 record) — not a zero-overhead structure in the filing, whatever the self-funding model explanation may be. The same return reported conflict of interest transactions (Schedule L flag on ProPublica).

Bet: that warehousing and sorting donated medical surplus in Salt Lake City is a high-leverage intervention because U.S. healthcare discards usable equipment at scale and overseas clinics face stockouts — logistics, not discovery, is the bottleneck.

The honest counterweight: marketing metrics ($1B, 160 countries, Charity Navigator 4-star every year) are self-reported on the About capture; FY 2024 shows expenses exceeding revenue by ~$4.8M on the extracted summary, which may reflect inventory accounting but is unexplained here.

Utah Context

Headquartered at 1032 W 2610 S, Salt Lake City (about page), matching the IRS Globous Relief Fund record. Utah is the sorting and shipping node for international outbound aid — a Wasatch Front humanitarian logistics employer, not a remote grantmaker.

What They Need Now

Captured pages emphasize donations, corporate/medical supply partners, and warehouse operations (about page). No careers URL was captured; needs likely include logistics/warehouse staff, partnership development, and finance/compliance given Schedule L conflict disclosures and inventory scale — inferred, not sourced to a jobs page.

Open Questions

• Schedule M in-kind totals not in ProPublica HTML — pull PDF 990 for FY 2024 to quote donated medical goods volume.
• $1 Billion cumulative claim vs. annual 990 revenue — lifetime in-kind throughput needs a filing or audited statement, not the homepage counter alone.
• Charity Navigator 4-star claim not verified in this shard.
• FY 2024 expense overrun ($9.85M expenses vs. $5.09M revenue) unexplained on summary page.
• Best of State medal not asserted in this shard.
