Overview
Mission
Together, we are raising money to provide specialized sweatshirts for women recovering from mastectomy surgeries. These sweatshirts are delivered prior to their surgery to handle the drains.
What it reported doing in 2024
Delivered over 600 sweatshirts to women undergoing mastectomy surgery, across 42 states and 8 countries.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 64% 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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
