Overview

Mission

Serves as breast density educational resource for patients and medical professionals.

What it reported doing in 2024

1. Patient education and reach-out one of our 2024 educational goals was to create new patient-friendly/understandable content about supplemental screening. This was accomplished through the introduction of two new website pages developed by both our patient advisory group and our medical advisory board. This content is now one of the most popular accessed by website visitors. In 2024 the dbi website had over 1,000,000 website visits and is the world's leading website on the topic. Our reach-out is accomplished through regularly scheduled facebook, twitter, linkedin, instagram, pinterest posts and a google grant campaign is ongoing. The social media posts engage the general public by sharing information about dense breasts and directing those with questions to the website as a resource. The google grant campaign works to ensure that internet searches of relevant terms, directs viewers to the densebreast-info.org website. The website continues to rank as a top search result for relevant search terms. The highlight of our social media calendar is our annual education campaign blitz, #worlddensebreastday. Celebrated the last wednesday of september every year, dbi applied to the national day calendar and is the official sponsor and host of the day. The 2024 event engaged participants in 104 countries with over 16.8 million posts read. To hit every time zone in every country the events begin at midnight U.S.a./eastern and dbi posts are launched every 10 minutes for the full 24 hours including videos and dynamic visuals, in both english and spanish. 2. Health provider reach-outto reach and educate health care professionals dbi developed a free 6-part educational video series covering all aspects of dense breast tissue including: screening, risk, risk assessment, screening guidelines, legislation and insurance coverage. Additionally, along with the american society of radiologic technologists, we developed a for-credit continuing education course which was both live and now available on an ongoing basis. The website is linked to/shared by a growing number of international medical groups and societies who recommend the dbi resource for their members. It is also a trusted "go to" resource for patients, advocates, legislators, policy makers, and the media.

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 100% 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. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and expenses are high relative to revenue.
