What it reported doing in 2024
NATIONAL AND STATE POLICY AND PROGRAMS: BCPP has over two decades of experience developing and implementing successful state and federal policy initiatives focused on preventing exposures to unsafe chemicals linked to increased rates of breast cancer and other diseases. BCPP advocates for legislative and regulatory public health policies at the local, state and federal level to protect the public against unsafe chemical exposures. Our sophisticated understanding of the political and regulatory landscape and our track record of developing successful policy initiatives makes BCPP uniquely qualified to lead cutting-edge public policy initiatives, and to serve as a trusted resource to state and federal decision-makers.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 98% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- 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.
- Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
