Overview

Mission

To support cancer patients

What it reported doing in 2025

Treatment abroad: we support patients from the former Soviet Union traveling abroad to access modern treatment. We contributed to costs of airfare, lodging and treatment for 33 patients in 2025.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

MIXED - Most voting board members are independent and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
