Overview

Mission

The mission of operation breast density is to empower women with knowledge about their breast health to optimize and individualize their breast cancer screening. We aim to educate those on breast density and its associated risk for breast cancer development as well as promote awareness about the screening challenges of dense breast tissue. Our goals are to prevent missed or delayed cancer diagnoses in women to ultimately reduce the overall mortality of breast cancer patients.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 78% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 95% 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

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