Overview

Mission

Our mission is to provide financial and emotional support as well as up-to-date information for anyone whose pet has cancer. This mission is supported by the Riedel Cody Fund Financial Aid Fund and through services provided on the Riedel Cody Fund website.

What it reported doing in 2020

Cancer Funding: This program reviews requests for cancer treatment funding from people around the country. Most of the requests come from people who are in the military, retired, on a fixed income or on disability but any person or family may apply if they are within the program guidelines. Each application is reviewed by board certified veterinary oncologists and assessed for treatment success and future quality of life. RCF routinely organizes fundraisers and solicits donations to continue funding this program as requests for help far exceed our available funds.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
