On His Path is a faith-based operating nonprofit, not a traditional grantmaker. It is a donor and partner to international clubfoot treatment programs. Organizations seeking to collaborate should approach this as a programmatic partnership — specifically around the Ponseti clubfoot treatment method in developing countries. The best approach is direct contact with founder Jean Mitchell (jean@onhispath.org) with a specific partnership proposal related to clubfoot clinic support, brace distribution, or medical training in underserved regions. Proposals should explicitly align with Christian faith values and the Ponseti method's proven efficacy.
On His Path has ~$112,624 in assets with approximately $100,725 in annual program expenses. As an operating nonprofit, all funds flow outward to program delivery rather than inward as grants received. Key program costs include brace/shoe procurement and shipping, clinic operational support in El Salvador and Costa Rica, and conference sponsorship. The organization does not make discretionary grants to other organizations — it is the end recipient of charitable donations that it directs to specific global health programs.
