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.

- $11,646 spent. Monthly Brain Tumor Night Off Events reduce social isolation and build community awareness. We are establishing a community that supports one another so that no one walks this path alone. Brain and spine tumors can lead to significant declines in neurological function mobility and cognition making even simple tasks overwhelming. The resulting emotional stress and social isolation are profound. These events give patients and caregivers the chance to share experiences find solidarity and reclaim moments of normalcy away from the clinical environment. We have provided shared experiences and meals to over 400 members of the brain and spine tumor community.
- $174 spent. We offer monthly in-person separate concurrent support groups for brain and spine tumor patients and caregivers. These face to face sessions are led by trained compassionate professionals with clinical oversight. We have grown from 4-6 patient and caregiver attendees to 12-16 per month. We provide a therapeutic space to safely accommodate both physical emotional needs. We initiated a light dinner to remove the hardship of navigating and preparing meals with over 90 participants served.
