Overview

Mission

Provide funding for cancer patients and research in Central Illinois

What it reported doing in 2025

Our 2025 accomplishments were funds allocated to Illinois CancerCare Foundation's Lymphoma research ($13,000), breast cancer research ($11,000) and general funding ($20,000). These funds help with clinical trial expenses as well as patient assistance such as meals and transportation. We also provided grants to families of cancer patients local to our organization.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 73% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and expenses are high relative to revenue.
