Overview
Mission
Naspcc is a nation-wide organization comprised of state prostate coalitions dedicated to saving men's lives and enhancing the quality of life of prostate cancer patients and their families, through awareness and education and the development of a public policy network.
What it reported doing in 2025
Naspcc has created, produced, and now distributes a series of laminates (2-sided laminated durable resources, with one side for patients and the flip side for physicians), on various topics in prostate cancer. The laminates are in a question-and-answer format on both sides, and are designed to improve informed discussions between physician and patient to lead to better shared decision-making. The laminates are online at www.naspcc.org and are available for reprinting as pdf's. Besides distribution, upon request naspcc will also send the actual laminates in bulk for awareness and educational events, as well as to physicians and clinics. Topics already completed include: "informed decision-making; "the role of psa throughout the prostate cancer journey; "non-metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer; "metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer; and "imaging in prostate cancer". In queue are "testing", "immunotherapy", "bone health", and "pain management in advanced prostate cancer". Other suggested topics are welcome.
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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised.
