Hip Hop Public Health Inc

“Part III - Statement of Program Service Accomplishments Hip Hop Public Health (HHPH) builds health literacy and fosters positive behavior change through the transformative power of music, art, and culture. Working at the intersection of public health, education, and the creative arts, HHPH develops evidence-based, culturally resonant programs that make health information accessible and engaging for youth, families, and communities. During the reporting year, HHPH advanced three core program areas: -Learning Studio: Expanded online, multimedia health literacy resources integrating music-based learning and health education, including 18 new Educator Toolkits. -Health MCs Program: Recruited more than 850 educators who report serving more than 250,000 young people annually. -Campaigns and Events: Produced multimedia campaigns, events, workshops, and presentations covering topics such as mental wellness, nutrition, and stroke prevention, reaching more than 25,000 educators, administrators, community health workers, out of school time providers, and young people. Program design and evaluation is conducted in collaboration with the Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and/or an external evaluation firm, ensuring scientific rigor and measurable outcomes. Despite financial tightening, HHPH sustained program delivery and demonstrated steady growth in reach and visibility. Governance, Management, and Disclosure (Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11 and 12, Form 990, Section C, Line 19) A draft Form 990 is reviewed by the Board of Directors prior to submission. HHPH maintains written policies on conflicts of interest, whistleblower protections, and document retention, and requires annual disclosure by all officers, directors, and key employees. The organization's governing documents, audited financial statements, and Form 990 are available to the public upon request and through its website. HHPH's Board represents leaders from medicine, education, the arts, and philanthropy, reinforcing the organization's interdisciplinary mission and commitment to strong governance. Compensation Practices (Form 990, Section B, Line 15) Compensation for officers and key employees is determined through review of comparability data from peer organizations and approved by the Board or its designated committee. All deliberations and approvals are documented in meeting minutes consistent with IRS "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" standards. Financial Stewardship and Organizational Development During the reporting year, HHPH experienced a modest shortfall between revenue and expenses, which was addressed through strategic refinements in staffing and operations. Through a streamlined staffing model and continued collaboration with a core network of trusted creative and educational consultants, the organization maintained high standards of artistic and programmatic excellence while strengthening its long-term sustainability. Even with these cost-containment measures, HHPH sustained full program activity and maintained steady growth in audience reach and impact. These adjustments have positioned the organization for continued stability and scalability in future fiscal years. Program Evaluation and Impact Metrics HHPH uses the REAIM Framework to assess reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation and maintenance. During the reporting year: -850 educators signed up as Health MCs, with a potential reach of 250,000 young people in 41 states. -Selected program evaluation showed increases in students' knowledge, self-efficacy, and retention, as well as strong potential for social-community impact. -Multimedia materials were developed using an iterative process with health experts, educators, and community stakeholders. Evaluation findings inform continuous improvement of HHPH's multimedia educational materials and campaign design, strengthening the organization's evidence base and scalability.
