Overview

Mission

The children's cancer fund of New Mexico exists to help persons from New Mexico who have been diagnosed with and treated for childhood cancer (at a New Mexico pediatric oncology facility) and their families cope with the day-to-day educational, emotional and financial needs of living with and fighting cancer.

What it reported doing in 2024

Pediatric cancer services. Emotional, educational and financial support; counseling services to patients and families when needed. Tutoring program for children with cancer to ensure that keep up with their class. Erin's place is available for children requiring hospice and palliative care and for those children from outside the albuquerque area and require extended treatments on a daily basis.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 85% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 75% for direct work, and 25% for grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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.
