Overview
Mission
The primary objectives and purposes of this organization are to reduce the burden of retinoblastoma (an eye cancer) by educating the public and primary health workers about retinoblastoma to achieve early diagnosis and rapid referral to specialist care, empowering the medical community to deliver sustainable high-quality evidence-based care that gives each child the best possible outcomes, and enabling family support programs that reduce practical, emotional, financial and social burdens of those impacted by the disease and improve access to essential care.
What it reported doing in 2024
Family meet-up events for survivors and families impacted by retinoblastoma, which enable survivors and their families to meet others impacted by the disease and its long-term effects (such as blindness) and provide practical and social support to each other outside of a medical setting. These events reduced the psychological stress and loneliness of being a survivor and family member of a rare childhood cancer.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 65% 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
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
