Overview
Mission
Primary exempt purpose: bff nola, inc., aka "beth's friends forever or "bff", was formed in order to assist women in designated areas within the state of Louisiana who are in financial need as a result of a cancer diagnosis. The definition of "financial need" for bff's purposes is not formulaically derived, and it is not bff's intent to require candidates to perform extensive application.
What it reported doing in 2020
Activity classification: assistance to women in need due to a cancer diagnosis. Grantee relationship: nonenumber of grantees: 2
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 85% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
