BHI is a North Carolina nonprofit and an IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) public charity. This page separates current facts from proposed safeguards and future disclosures.
Better Health Institute, Inc. is a North Carolina nonprofit corporation formed on September 10, 2026 and has an EIN. IRS Letter 947, dated October 5, 2026, recognizes it as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3), effective September 10, 2026, and classifies it as a public charity under section 170(b)(1)(A)(vi). Annual reporting is required. Governance adoption, financial controls, and public reporting readiness are tracked separately.
The educational site and browser-based tool prototypes are available. Donation collection, practitioner intake, verified listings, clinical-review claims, newsletters, advertising analytics, and individualized support are inactive.
BHI intends to keep topic selection, conclusions, practitioner inclusion, and any future medical-review decisions independent from commercial interests. No sponsorship or referral arrangement is active. Read the proposed editorial standard.
A curated nationwide directory of licensed clinicians and separately identified wellness practitioners is a future phase. No practitioner has been listed or endorsed, and no clinical matching, referral fee, paid placement, or paid ranking is operating.
BHI is operated separately from GoodTracker, Medical Wellness Direct, and the founder’s other businesses. Any future relationship would require documented disclosure, disinterested review, recusal, minutes, and fair-market support before it could proceed.
BHI is newly formed and has no public financial reports yet. It plans to publish appropriate program and financial information after governance review and operations begin.
