Summary

What do they do? Tri City provides free medical, dental and prescription assistance for eligible people who live or work in Central Kane County. Its volunteer clinicians and hospital referrals support chronic, acute and preventive care. The annual illustration assesses medical health and signed household resources, not a retail service value or priced marginal donation.

Why we’re interested in this organization:

  • Original annual unique medical patients avoid visit-based double counting.

  • Original reconciliation identifies donated services omitted from tax expenses.

  • Current services and local eligibility are documented.

Our main reservations:

  • Utility, net cash and residence shares remain judgments.

  • Complete audit and donated-resource opportunity costs remain uninspected.

  • Gift-created capacity and other portfolio effects remain unquantified.

What do you get for your dollar? $330K per DALY in Chicago. DALY is our one-year comparison unit. QALY-based health gains and income-welfare equivalents retain their original assumptions; they are not measured clinical DALYs. Conditional whole annual accounting cost for selected clinical and signed household-resource channels; not empirical portfolio EV or marginal donation price..

FY2024: 580 unique medical patients, 3,390 medical visits and 607 dental visits; only the first is modeled as persons.

1. What do they do?

Tri City provides free medical and dental services to uninsured Central Kane residents. Original 2024 Form 990 identifies EIN 36-4475369, resolving the malformed number previously displayed on its site without inventing a digit. Current eligibility excludes Medicaid, Medicare, VA, disability or employer coverage and allows people who live or work locally. Work location does not establish patient residence. The current site still has a malformed EIN; original tax identity controls.

2. Monitoring and information sharing

Original FY2024 return reports 580 unique medical patients, 3,390 medical visits, 3,546 medications and 607 dental visits. Only the unique medical patient count enters the benefit model; dental, tests and prescriptions are not added as separate people. No causal change in patient health utility is reported. No job placements, after-tax earnings or otherwise-paid household savings are reported. Prescriptions and dental contacts are not added as distinct medical patients. Free care may replace spending or deferred care, with different health/resource counterfactuals.

3. Qualitative assessment

Short morbidity relief remains a conditional .3 additional response, .05 utility and half-year hypothesis, not a measured effect. Medical financial protection is separately judged, so clinical-null cases can still have cash effects. A $100 otherwise-paid cash hypothesis is after alternate charity/public/hospital assistance and benefit changes; Oregon insurance evidence supports the mechanism, not this clinic coefficient. Net earnings are zero centrally as an explicit uncertainty judgment, with positive and negative stresses. Dental, nutrition and other welfare remain unquantified, not zero.

4. What do you get for your dollar?

Schedule D reconciles audited expense $1,379,104 to Form 990 expense $938,094 through $441,010 of donated services/use of facilities. Central gross cost restores $6,552 direct event expense netted from revenue: $1,385,656. This addback is a modeling boundary choice; no-addback sensitivity uses $1,379,104. Noncash goods already recognized in the return are not added again. The annual-work revision removes a separate .4 marginal finance factor; this is scope correction, not proof of improved efficacy. Full .01 aggregate process harm and all-exposed access burdens are judged. Current clinical health4.3183 and signed resources−.11560 give approximately$330K per DALY. Whole-recipient cost against selected effects is not complete portfolio EV. Clinical580patients are not cut by the .8resource household grouping.

Model, assumptions and sensitivity

Whole recipient gross accounting cost: audited expense including recognized donated services plus netted direct event expense. Not medical-program expense alone. Unrecognized resources and true opportunity costs are unresolved.

Primary mission limits care to Central Kane County; St Charles clinic is within Kane and the pinned 13-county Chicago MSA. g=.995 is a judged residence share allowing exceptions, not a patient-level measurement.

Health=g*(N*a*u*T-full aggregate process harm)/(1+r)^delay; resources=.5*sum(people*discounted finite years*log(after/before)*geography), household joint net flows with positive-only overlap; price10=10*C/(health+signed resources).

Counterfactual: Other charity/public/hospital care or deferred treatment; clinical additionality independent household financial protection; annual work has no extra gift-financing multiplier.

Attribution: Patient clinical units distinct from resource household grouping. No measured utility, cash or earnings; full negative harms and access costs survive benefit failure. Other portfolio channels unknown, not zero.

All utility, causal response, duration, funding additionality and residence parameters are illustrative judgments, not measured causal effects, calibrated expected values, confidence intervals or marginal gift purchase prices. Different accounting treatment of donated care prevents comparative economic-efficiency rankings.

  • Current marginal capacity and distinct outside provider incidence.
  • Complete audit and true donated-resource opportunity costs.

5. Funding and previous grants

Original FY2024 return reports revenue $1,128,821 and net assets $1,317,382. Schedule D audited revenue is $1,589,022. An audit-expense reconciliation is available, but the complete audit and resource valuation methods were not inspected. No priced marginal expansion plan establishes what another gift buys. Patient services are free and the current site says no state/federal funding or insurance payments. This does not make donated resources or outside hospital care costless. Central resource464households include .3financial-protection share with joint netcash and work minus full$25incremental time/accesscost relativealternative care. Positive-only .5overlap reduces gains, not losses. Baseline$20,000 is judged consumption, not income eligibility or measured wages. Recognized donated services are already C; distinct unrecognized/provider counterparty stresses are separate, zero external-loss central is a donor-budget convention not proof of no incidence. Priced current gift capacity remains unknown.
