Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Programs described in its return (3)
- $34,397 spent. Community Outreach: Our website provides community outreach with educational and information support at diagnosis and beyond by sharing assistance for next steps, which decreases the fear and distress associated with any phase of a cancer diagnosis. Our outreach efforts are focused on building relationships that help us reach the people we need to serve in our rural communities of Southwest Colorado. These include promoting awareness of our organization, and co-sponsoring the first Survivor Celebration with our local hospital, promoting cancer screening awareness at a local boxing event, all which help to decrease barriers to health and supportive care, and recommended screenings for early cancer detection. All expenses incurred with these programs are related to a portion of our facility expenses, marketing, social media, salaries, and website updates.
- $31,338 spent. Nurse Navigation: Our oncology certified nurse navigator provides our navigation program. Because we exist in an under resourced area, our navigator plays a crucial role in helping participants decrease their distress by identifying the resources and supportive care needs they and their loved ones may face throughout their experience. These services exist not only to augment the care they receive in a clinical setting, but also to access mental health, medical, and extraneous supportive care. People hear of us mainly by word of mouth, media, the Internet, and from print collateral that we have distributed throughout Southwest Colorado,through libraries, health-related agencies, businesses, and faith communities. We can be reached via telephone, e-mail, through our website, or by personal office visits. We had 1,333 navigation and survivorship contacts in 2024, which was an increase of 84.25% over FY 2023. Some of our expenses were for the navigators salary, books for our lending library, office and printing supplies, and a portion of our facility cost. The feedback we receive from the people we serve is consistently positive, as all these programs are filling a huge gap in our rural regions, particularly for the plethora of participants who are treated for their cancer, out of necessity, elsewhere.
- $48,966 spent. Survivorship programming These programs provide no-cost emotional and social support for people with cancer and their families, and consist of educational workshops, healthy lifestyle classes, and social activities, which provide emotional support and decrease social isolation. In 2024, these consisted of 21 breast cancer networking group meetings, 11 head and neck survivor group meetings, 51 restorative yoga classes, 29 strength and balance yoga classes, 3 DigitalSherpa classes, 2 nutrition workshops, 1 Mental Health and Cancer workshop, 5 sessions of a Radical Remission Project Workshop. Our programs combine social connection, companionship, and physical activities in nature, all of which create an environment that encourages participants to improve their quality of life as they are facing the multitude of issues presented by living with and beyond cancer.
