Overview

Mission

What it reported doing in 2023

Creative Sessions - art sessions, ranging from watercolors to ukelele, for anyone impacted by cancer to provide an outlet to express themselves and help them deal with their impacts from cancer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
