Overview

Mission

Active Surveillance Patients International ASPI was created by men with prostate cancer PCa for men with prostate cancer. The founders all took a proactive approach to Active Surveillance AS. They witnessed overtreatment and confusion about monitoring.

What it reported doing in 2025

Men from all walks of life contacted us seeking guidance and felt that this organization might be a vehicle to help. Two decades ago men on AS were almost unheard of; now over 50% of men with low-grade prostate cancer practice AS and we know that there are still newly diagnosed men with Gleason 3+3 and favorable intermediate prostate cancer Gleason 3+4 who might want to consider AS as their treatment. ASPI supports the concept of the proactive patient who is interested in reading materials and watching videos as part of their research participates in support groups and webinars attends if possible relevant conferences and most importantly establishes decision-sharing relation.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
