Overview

Mission

The organization is dedicated to serving families of children who are battling cancer or chronic blood disorders with emotional, financial and educational support necessary to cope with their life-threatening illness.

What it reported doing in 2024

Community relations works with the medical and psychological staff in community hospitals to create a supportive environment for pediatric hematology / oncology patients and their families. Through this program, a representative meets with newly diagnosed patients and their families to introduce them to the services available at the center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 61% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
