Overview
Mission
The Mission of the Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance (CGCA) is to provide support to people affected by ovarian and other gynecologic cancers and to promote awareness, prevention, and early detection through advocacy and education.
What it reported doing in 2024
Nickis Circle: CGCA provides 1 weekly and 5 free monthly support groups facilitated by professional counselors. These groups connect Gynecologic cancer survivors and provide a safe space for delving into the issues that accompany this difficult diagnosis. Comfort Kits: CGCA works with Colorado's Gynecologic Oncology offices to provide a comfort kit at diagnosis. These kits include handmade items and other items to help the recently diagnosed through the chemo experience. The message conveyed by the kits is you are not alone. Individual Support Program: Women with a Gynecologic cancer may receive up to 4 sessions with a licensed counselor to help process the shock, anxiety and pain of the diagnosis.CGCA is leading a coalition to provide genetic testing to Colorado's Jewish population in partnership with the CU-GENEs Study. This Bring Radical Cancer Awareness (BRCA) initiative is an attempt to provide testing to a population at high risk for a RBCA mutation, and to promote cancer prevention.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 97% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 89% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
