## Summary

**Globus Relief** recovers surplus **medical supplies and equipment** from the U.S. healthcare
system and distributes them to underserved clinics internationally
([about page](globus-relief-official-website.md)). 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](globus-relief-form-990-record.md)).

The organization's site claims **160+ countries served**, **850+ partner charities**, and **$1
Billion** in cumulative **medical supplies given** since **1998**
([about page](globus-relief-official-website.md)) — **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](globus-relief-form-990-record.md)). 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](globus-relief-official-website.md)). 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](globus-relief-form-990-record.md)) — 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](globus-relief-official-website.md)),
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](globus-relief-official-website.md)). 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.
