Overview

Mission

Foundation for children with cancer is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing financial assistance to families battling childhood cancer. We believe in helping families through their financial hardship to allow them to focus on the care and healing of their child.

What it reported doing in 2014

The foundation for children with cancer provides families with the financial assistance that enables them to concentrate on the care and recovery of their child while their child undergoes treatment for cancer. We help with the 'every day' expenses, such as car repairs or a mortgage payment, that these families continue to encounter when they put their lives on hold to be with their children.

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 85% 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 program spending has declined or grown slowly.
