Overview
Mission
Provide a place where those touched by cancer can join with others to actively involve themselves in building effective social & emotional support
What it reported doing in 2018
Program expenses are for events & meetings for and attended by individuals that are touched by cancer.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
- 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. Assets have declined or grown slowly and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
