Overview

Mission

SurviveHERs mission is to inform, inspire, and empower a community of breast cancer survivors and women. We aim to optimize the breast health outcomes and reduce the social determinants of health.

What it reported doing in 2025

SurviveHERs EDUCATION program provided year-round breast health education and community outreach to increase awareness, promote early detection, and support survivorship.During 2025, the organization hosted and participated in 12 educational and outreach events that delivered culturally relevant education on breast cancer prevention, early detection, navigating diagnosis, and survivorship, while connecting women with critical health resources and support systems.Through its outreach efforts, SurviveHER served ~2,250 individuals, primarily from underserved communities, helping to advance health equity and encourage proactive health behaviors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% 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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and expenses are high relative to revenue.
