Overview

Mission

Hunting for the cure raises money to provide adventure trips - hunting, fishing, camping, skiing - for children diagnosed with cancer. There are no payrolls - just volunteers trying to make child cancer patients life a little more enjoyable.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization raised over $395,000 to provide hunting, fishing, and other adventure excursions for children fighting cancer.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
