What they do
NORMALLY THIS PROVIDES 3 DAYS-WORTH of CONTINUING EDUCATION SPEAKERS for OVER 125 MEDICAL ASSISTANT ATTENDEES, WHO IN TURN GO BACK to THEIR MEDICAL OFFICES and SHARE INFORMATION. (NOTE: WSSMA OPERATES ON A CASH BASIS. NORMALLY OUR ANNUAL MEETING is HELD THE 3RD WEEK of MAY EACH YEAR, ROTATING AROUND THE STATE to GIVE MEDICAL ASSISTANTS IN ALL AREAS THE CHANCE to ATTEND. DEPENDING ON THE PARTICULAR FACILITY WHERE IT is HELD, THE AMOUNT of EXPENSE PAID for THIS EVENT CAN OCCUR LATE IN APRIL, or THROUGH THE DATE of THE CONFERENCE IN MAY, WHICH is AFTER THE CLOSE of OUR FISCAL YEAR). WSSMA DID NOT HOST ITS OWN CONFERENCE IN 2024, BUT PLANNED A CONFERENCE for 2025, SO A DEPOSIT to HOLD THE HOTEL SPACE WAS INCLUDED IN THE FIGURE ON LAST YEARS REPORT. MOST of THE REGISTRATION FEES and DONATIONS to HOLD THE 2025 CONFERENCE WERE COLLECTED BY THE END of APRIL, and MOST of THE EXPENSES WERE PAID BEFORE THE END OFTHIS FISCAL YEAR AS WELL, ALTHOUGH THE CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN MAY 2025.

Money made simple
Ask these three easy questions
- Who did you help? Ask for a recent story or report that shows real results.
- What will my money do? Ask exactly what your gift will pay for.
- Is this really the charity? Give only through its official website or confirmed phone number.
Worth asking: Expenses exceeded revenue this year. Ask whether that was planned or caused by a one-time event.
Bottom line: Do not decide from a name, mission statement, or tax status alone. Look at where the money went, then ask what changed, who was helped, and what your gift will do. YouCanGiveBack does not endorse or grade organizations.
