Overview

Mission

Camp rainbow gold provides emotionally empowering experiences to Idaho's children diagnosed with cancer and their families.

What it reported doing in 2024

Camp rainbow gold supports children with cancer and their entire families year round. Our "survivors supporting survivors" program is designed by young adult cancer survivors for cancer survivors between the ages of 13-18 years old. Fun activities allow participants the opportunity to talk about the struggles of a cancer diagnosis while enjoying a cooking class, bowling, paddle board or attending local performances. We also have family events that include things like halloween carnivals, sporting events, as well as always hosting a spring and fall family event and doing other touch points like holiday mailings. In addition, we work to help connect the families to community resources and other opportunities that are shared with us. It's 365 days of making a difference in the lives of children, their families, and others who support them.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% 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 - 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 fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
