Overview

Mission

Dedicated to ending skin cancer as a life-threatening disease through a passionate network of supporters focused on prevention and early detection.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Arizona skin cancer foundation provides free preventive skin screenings to those in need to detect suspicious skin lesions early, when cancers are most treatable, sun safety education, and shade structure projects. In 2024, the Arizona skin cancer foundation provided services to nearly 700 people with chronic illness, physical disability, and low income. Services included providing skin checks to 108 people, sun safety education/activities to 1,016 people, protective and hygiene items to 908 people, and one shade structure benefitting 15 blind preschool children a year for the 20-year lifespan of the product. Partners included the foundation for blind children, Arizona center for the blind and visually impaired, Arizona recreation center for the handicapped, street medicine phoenix, sunshine acres children's home, and more.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
