Overview

Mission

LFC was founded by a group of breast cancer survivors to begin advocacy and awareness-raising work for young women in the Northwest Indiana and Chicagoland communities where women are at greater risk

What it reported doing in 2023

The Pink Tie Gala is the signature fundraising event to raise funds to support research and awareness efforts in the community.In 2024 over $16,000 was given towards research and to other organizations that champion this work

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 66% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filed totals do not add up and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
