What it says it does
Nova12SF is dedicated to restorative efforts to improve breast health and breast cancer care for everyone, regardless of their zip code. We come together as a community to acknowledge the effects of San Francisco's racist history and development, and to highlight that our health is influenced more by our zip code than by our genetic makeup. We raise funds to directly support those with breast cancer living in neighborhoods lacking access to healthy food, social resources, and medical care. These funds address community identified needs such as rent assistance, nutrition support, and transportation to healthcare for individuals battling breast cancer.

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.
