In its most recent IRS Form 990 filing filing for tax year 2024, the organization reported $39,362,200 in total revenue. Of that, $14,136,300 came from government grants including federal, state, or local sources, making up 35.9% of total revenue.

At the beginning of 2024, Heartland Health Centers had $15,553,200 in assets. By the end of 2024, that figure had changed to $19,001,500, indicating a 22.2% growth in overall holdings.

However, a Chicago City Wire analysis found that IRS filings frequently contain discrepancies when compared with publicly disclosed government grant reports and budgets.
Heartland Health Centers is one of hundreds of nonprofits across Illinois that receive substantial support from state taxpayers while also fundraising privately.
In 2025, Illinois lawmakers introduced House Bill 1266, also known as the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Act. The proposal would create a new oversight body within the Office of the Auditor General tasked with identifying cost-saving measures, reviewing agency performance, and advising on audit priorities. If passed, DOGE could bring additional scrutiny and performance evaluation to taxpayer-funded organizations.
According to ProPublica, Illinois has more than 78,000 active tax-exempt organizations, including nearly 60,000 classified as charitable nonprofits. In their most recent IRS filings, these groups reported a combined revenue exceeding $156 billion.
