HCET's revenue model relies on grants from various funders, government and institutional contracts for training and technical assistance, and private donations and philanthropic partnerships. The go-to-market motion is sales-led through grants and contracts combined with community-led engagement, with marketing channels spanning the organizational website, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), monthly newsletters, and a branded merchandise store. HCET is led by CEO Abby Hunt, MSW, supported by a team of 11-50 employees including directors of operations, community programs, training and program design, and health strategy.
