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.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (1)
  1. $1,765 spent. TO OFFER WRITING AND PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES AT BEDSIDE-AND IN WORKSHOP SETTINGS-THROUGHOUT BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL. WE HOPE TO FIND UNIQUE WAYS TO SHOWCASE THE BOOKS THAT CHILDREN AND CAREGIVERS HAVE ALREADY CREATED-AND TO PROVIDE NOVEL WAYS FOR YOUNG AUTHORS TO SHARE THEIR WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ACT OF STORYTELLING IS A POWERFUL TOOL FOR PROCESSING AND CREATIVE SELF-EXPRESSION, PARTICULARLY FOR THOSE COPING WITH ACUTE OR CHRONIC ILLNESS. ONGOING WRITING AND PUBLISHING OPPORTUNITIES CAN HELP HELP CHILDREN AND FAMILIES TO MAKE THEIR VOICES HEARD, TO EDUCATE OTHERS ABOUT A DIAGNOSIS, AND TO MAKE SENSE OF CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.
