Program
At Cancer Support Community Arizona, CSCAZ, we believe no one should face cancer alone. Our mission is to uplift and strengthen people impacted by cancer by providing support, fostering compassionate communities, and breaking down barriers to care. Our services are available for cancer patients, cancer survivors, caregivers, family members, and children of parents facing cancer because our vision is that everyone impacted by cancer receives the support they want and need throughout their experience. For 25 years, we have been working to ensure this support is accessible to all Arizonans across the state. CSCAZ utilizes a Five Pillar program design, Support, Education, Healthy Lifestyle, Social Connections, and Resources and Referrals. All our programs are evidence based, led by licensed and certified professionals, available in English and Spanish, and completely free of charge. Services are provided in person in the greater Phoenix area, the Verde Valley, and Flagstaff, and virtually via livestream to residents in every corner of Arizona.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2020 to 2021, from $3.0M to $3.4M (+12%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 16% · 2018 7% · 2019 16% · 2020 33% · 2021 17% · 2022 9% · 2023 16% · 2024 15%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of Cancer Support Community Arizona’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 7 funders to 22 funders, grant income rose $105k → $405k.
10 of 71 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 12% 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 Cancer Support Community Arizona’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 71 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
Cancer Support Community Arizona 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
63% 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 Cancer Support Community Arizona.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 72% · 2018 41% · 2019 36% · 2020 19% · 2021 32% · 2022 25% · 2023 22% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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 long its funders stay
24% of Cancer Support Community Arizona's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 51% give in more than one year at all.
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.
Where its funders are
65% of Cancer Support Community Arizona's grant income comes from Arizona funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $302k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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. 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.
