Overview

Mission

To define and advance quality, effective, equitable, and accessible cancer care and prevention so all people can live better lives

What it reported doing in 2024

Nccn guidelines, nccn content & educational programs: experts from major academic cancer centers, develop and update clinical practice guidelines for treatment of cancer; includes both distribution of guidelines for non-commercial use as well as certain educational conferences and symposia to communicate content free of charge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 92% 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. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and some related-organization disclosures are missing.
