Overview
Mission
The foundation's initial focus is to provide modest financial support to patients who struggle with everyday expenses due to the financial demands associated with their cancer treatment.
What it reported doing in 2024
Rainy day gifts program: designed to help cancer patients in active treatment with their non-medical, everyday living expenses. These gifts may be used to pay for housing expenses and utility bills, transportation and gas, and food. Our support is intended to provide these patients with some peace of mind so they can focus on healing.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 98% of its reported program spending out as grants.
The verdict
STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of total spending goes to programs. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
