Overview

Mission

To advance cancer prevention and control in Iowa through advocacy, equity, and collaboration.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Iowa cancer consortium convenes groups around the five cancer plan priority areas: prevention, screening, treatment, quality of life, and health equity. The consortium distributes funds for community-based implementation projects and peer-reviewed grants throughout the state of Iowa. The consortium also provides educational opportunities in cancer control for health care and public health professionals.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 85% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 83% 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 most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
