Overview

Mission

To provide global breast health education tools that encourage breast self examinations being a routine part of one's regular health practices.

What it reported doing in 2024

Breast health awareness is promoted by providing women with the education and resources to perform self-examinations. The organization also provides support to women and men who are diagnosed with breast cancer and/or who are assisting women or men who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 83% 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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
