Overview

Mission

Our Mission is to uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care.

What it reported doing in 2024

Nurse Navigation: Our oncology certified nurse navigator provides our navigation program. Because we exist in an under resourced area, our navigator plays a crucial role in helping participants decrease their distress by identifying the resources and supportive care needs they and their loved ones may face throughout their experience. These services exist not only to augment the care they receive in a clinical setting, but also to access mental health, medical, and extraneous supportive care. People hear of us mainly by word of mouth, media, the Internet, and from print collateral that we have distributed throughout Southwest Colorado, through libraries, health-related agencies, businesses, and faith communities. We can be reached via telephone, e-mail, through our website, or by personal office visits. We had 1,333 navigation and survivorship contacts in 2024, which was an increase of 84.25% over FY 2023. Some of our expenses were for the navigators salary, books for our lending library, office and printing supplies, and a portion of our facility cost. The feedback we receive from the people we serve is consistently positive, as all these programs are filling a huge gap in our rural regions, particularly for the plethora of participants who are treated for their cancer, out of necessity, elsewhere.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
