Overview

Mission

The mission of Team Survivor Northwest is to provide a broad range of fitness and health education programs to enable all women who have had a cancer diagnosis to take an active role in their ongoing physical and emotional healing. To enhance equitable access, programs are offered at no cost.

What it reported doing in 2025

Weekly Move to Heal Fitness Classes: Our Move to Heal fitness classes were offered both virtually and in person in 2025. Women of all fitness levels are encouraged to join these classes led by certified instructors who are educated and experienced in the special needs of working with the cancer community. Members enjoy this safe space to join other women who are undergoing treatment or regaining and maintaining strength post-treatment. Class offerings in 2025 included Fitness Basics, Interval Training, Yoga, Pilates, Zumba, "Ejercicio para Sanar," Flex and Flow, Tai Chi, water aerobics and a yoga/art therapy series.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 98% 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.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

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 some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
