Overview

Mission

To provide personal and compassionate support to cancer patients and their caregivers in our community.

What it reported doing in 2024

Our transportation support includes free rides door to door for medical treatments if our clients do not have road worthy vehicles or a support system to drive them. We provide gas cards, food cards, airfare and hotel reimbursement for people traveling longer distances for medical appointments. All services are free of charge due to the support of volunteers and generous donors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Hybrid. The nonprofit split its reported program spending across 53% for direct work, and 47% for grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
