Overview

Mission

The GCSproject maintains an informational website (www.gcsproject.org) that provides information and support to women and their families who have a diagnosis of GCS cancer. In addition the organization raises funds to support dedicated GCS cancer research. As a very rare form of ovarian cancer there is limited support for such basic research and the GCSproject hopes to help close that gap.

What it reported doing in 2025

The secondary purpose off the GCSproject is to raise funds to support dedicated research into this rare cancer. $179,000 was provided to the Cancer Center at University of Alabama in 2020. $200,000 was provided to U of Alabama in 2023 for research into GCS reoccurrence. We continue to raise funds that need to reach a sufficient level to support such medical research. No funds were provided for such research during 2024 or 2025. We expect to make a GCS medical research support grant in 2026 and to enhance the value of our web site with additional paid clinical support.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
