Overview

Mission

To enhance and strengthen the charitable and community support for women undergoing cancer treatment through education, networking, and the wig exchange program. The primary goal is to improve the quality of life by providing all women, regardless of economic status or geographic location, access to wigs.

What it reported doing in 2025

Ebeautys mission is to provide free wigs and support services for women undergoing treatment for cancer through the implementation of the pay it forward program. The pay it forward programs simple premise has a powerful impact; one persons small act of kindness can create a ripple effect significantly impacting another women on her cancer journey. Women who have completed treatment donate their gently used wigs, which are then refurbished through the ebeauty alliance partners and distributed free of charge to women who have been newly diagnosed. Women can request wigs from ebeautys website, www.ebeauty.com, and receive them in the mail or through one of ebeautys health alliance partners. Thousand of women and their families have received and/or donated wigs through the pay it forward program and at present, ebeauty runs the only national cancer support program providing free wigs to women undergoing treatment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 82% 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.
  • 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
