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 (2)
- Wig Out's Community Assistance Program services are also performed on WOOW at hospitals/cancer treatment facilities not affiliated with Harris Health System located in the greater Houston area. We also see patients by appointment at our office, or conduct vitual appointments and mail wig kits to recipients. This program is an extension of the program described in the above program line 28. We drive WOOW or private vehicles to Houston-area cancer facilities to provide our services and items. We also meet with patients in our office via appointment or virtually and mail their items to them. We have served an additional 208 patients through this program. Our virtual and mailing services are still in progress through Covid. We would love to replicate our successful model around Texas and USA.
- Wig Out Breast Cancer Awareness Corporate and Community Initiatives. Breat cancer surviors/ambassadors educate our community-at-large about breat cancer prevention and detection. Educational teaching series at Crestwood, Archrock, Lululemon, churches, and other groups.
