Overview

Mission

To advance policies that will transform the united states cancer care and delivery system to better serve adolescents, and young adult patients and survivors. It ensures that adolescents and young adults have no barriers to survive and thrive after a cancer diagnosis.

What it reported doing in 2018

Advocacy: a program that brings together a diverse coalition of patients, providers, and stakeholders who know too well the devastating impact cancer can have on the life of a young adult.

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 - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
