Overview

Mission

The organizations primary purpose is to provide a safe, protective and unique environment to escape the rigors of living with cancer at least temporarily. To give the children with cancer the opportunity to experience the cowboy lifestyle that most would never have.

What it reported doing in 2014

Providing children with cancer with an environment of encouragement, along with a unique experience otherwise not available to them and an opportunity to escape at least temporarily from the psychological effects of 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. 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.
