Overview
Mission
Our mission is to save lives through breast health education that focuses on breast cancer prevention, early detection, risk reduction and healthy lifestyle choices.
What it reported doing in 2025
The Foundation offers a range of programs designed to educate the public about breast health. Through engaging, interactive workshops focused on early detection, risk reduction, and healthy lifestyle choices, it has reached hundreds of thousands of adolescents and adults. In addition, the Foundation provides a comprehensive curriculum for breast health educators, including certification for trainees and flexible, web-based courses that allow participants to learn at their own pace. The Foundations website also features educational articles and blog content, reaching several thousand visitors each month and extending its impact even further.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 66% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- 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
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.
