01What it does

What Breast Cancer Prevention Partners does

Mission

Founded in 1992, Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) works to prevent breast cancer by eliminating exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Programs

  1. SCIENCE, PUBLIC EDUCATION & ENGAGEMENT: BCPP is a leader in the breast cancer and environmental health scientific communities. Our science program translates, disseminates and communicates evidence of environmental links to breast cancer. This informs our programmatic work and shapes the national breast cancer prevention research agenda. Additionally, key to all of our work is building awareness about toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease and mobilizing a growing community to take action for breast cancer prevention. We do this through public education, social media advocacy and by participating in conferences, meetings and other events.

  2. BUSINESS ACCOUNTABILITY:Our market-based campaigns grow consumer awareness of, and demand for, safer consumer products free of chemicals that are harmful to human health and the environment. The goal of our market-based advocacy is to create major industry shifts away from the use of toxic chemicals and toward safer products and production. BCPP works to support and grow new industry champions, and to guide current industry leaders toward safer products by providing the resources and technical support they need to achieve this goal. We also push companies to provide full ingredient disclosure so consumers can make more informed purchases.

  3. NATIONAL AND STATE POLICY AND PROGRAMS:BCPP has two decades of experience developing and implementing successful state and federal policy initiatives focused on preventing exposures to unsafe chemicals linked to increased rates of breast cancer and other diseases. BCPP advocates for legislative and regulatory public health policies at the local, state and federal level to protect the public against unsafe chemical exposures. Our sophisticated understanding of the political and regulatory landscape and our track record of developing successful policy initiatives makes BCPP uniquely qualified to lead cutting-edge public policy initiatives, and to serve as a trusted resource to state and federal decision-makers.

The organization over time

Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 25 funders to 40 funders, grant income rose $1.2M → $1.4M.

22 of 106 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 40% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of BREAST CANCER PREVENTION PARTNERS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 106 funders by total. Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

BREAST CANCER PREVENTION PARTNERS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 14% of grant income, and it takes 6 funders to reach half.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 6 funders to its left

42% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund BREAST CANCER PREVENTION PARTNERS.

first grant+1y+2y+3y+4y+5y+6y

Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $4.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 15 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been.
