Overview

Mission

To improve the lives of adolescents and young adults (AYAs), ages 15 to 39, diagnosed with cancer in our community.

What it reported doing in 2022

The organization works with local health care organizations to make educational presentations regarding the issues in treating cancer patients within the 15 to 29 year age group, including but not limited to their unique physiological, psychological and social needs, the clinical trials available to patients of that age group, and any other specific resources that may be available to the physicians and/or the patients to facilitate the treatment. The organization also lectures at high schools, colleges, and universities to promote healthy living, cancer prevention, and self-advocacy throughout the fort worth community.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
