Overview

Mission

Enhancing cancer prevention, treatment and supportive care statewide.

What it reported doing in 2024

AIOF, AS A NEWLY FORMED NOT-FOR-PROFIT 501(C)(3) ORGANIZATION, IS FOCUSED ON ACCESSIBLE AND COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT FOR PATIENTS AND FAMILIES. IN ADDITION TO THE SERVICES PROVIDED AT THE CANCER CLINICS, AIOF PLANS TO ADDRESS NEEDS IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH: (1) COLLABORATIVE STRATEGY: With a focus on improving cancer outcomes, the Foundation's model is designed to leverage statewide resources, fostering collaboration among health care professionals and enhancing the continuum of care for Alaskans facing cancer. Through initiatives such as supporting the development of oncology workforce and providing resources to support the work of partners in the community, we can effectively begin to address the significant health disparities in the incidence and mortality rates of cancer in Alaska. (2) COMMUNITY SUPPORT: The Foundation extends its impact beyond treatment, supporting the broader cancer community through strategic giving. By investing in health initiatives and patient support programs, the Foundation reinforces a network of care that uplifts every individual affected by cancer in Alaska. Areas of focus include access to care through increased cancer prevention/awareness, early detection through screening, and direct patient support to address barriers to care.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 99% 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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and assets have declined or grown slowly.
