Overview

Mission

To provide free support and education to people facing breast and gynecologic cancers.

What it reported doing in 2024

Patient education & support - share provides a range of free services for those who have been diagnosed with breast, ovarian, uterine, cervical or metastatic breast cancer: 1) 250+ webinars on-demand which cover important topics from breakthrough treatment options to health and wellness to relationship issues - led by leading oncologists and experts. Over 850,000 people access share's webinars each year. 2) over 60 support groups to address share's disease areas, with additional options including stage of disease and racial identity. Each is led by specially trained facilitators who often have personal experience with cancer. 3) a toll-free helpline, answered by peers familiar with challenges, to provide one-to-one personalized information and emotional support in english, spanish and chinese. 4) breast cancer and metastatic breast cancer podcasts to build community and address patient concerns. In 2024 share launched a patient navigation program to help end health disparities by addressing barriers to quality care. We work with partners and invite physicians to refer their patients to share's certified patient and financial navigators, who provide a full range of supportive tools and services. Share's patient navigators served 150 patients in its first year.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 68% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
