Overview
Mission
The goal of the Josette Beddell Memorial Foundation is to help better the lives of families in Northeast Ohio affected by breast cancer. We work to raise funds and find families for whom those funds could impact.
What it reported doing in 2024
Hardship grants which are awarded to families that are suffering from financial hardship dues to breast cancer treatment that totaled $303,843. Grant sizes are determined based on the financial needs and set based on actual expenses being incurred by the family. Grants ranged from $500 to $300. A total of 240 grants were given in 2024
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.
The verdict
SUPPORTED - 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.
