Overview

Mission

The National Association of Cancer Center Development Offices (NACCDO) is a cooperative venture of academically-based comprehensive, clinical, basic, and consortium cancer centers that are designated by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), or who have investigators that receive NCI funds. The network was created to share information and resources among the development programs of the cancer centers and to address collectively the critical development issues of common concern.

What it reported doing in 2024

The Association Services Group serves our membership by hosting our website, providing creative and management services for NACCDO, and coordinating our monthly webinars to benefit the development staff at each of the 112 cancer center member organizations.

Operating model

Revenue model
Other-operating. 97% 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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
