What Carries TOUCH Inc does
Mission
To break the silence that adversely affects the african american community with regard to breast cancer with the hope and intent to increase the number of survivors through education, support and testing.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Awareness education & outreach - carrie's touch is known for our innovative ways to engage the community through awareness and education. We connected with audiences from california to new york using theatre as our vehicle to raise awareness and educate patients, their families and the community on the importance of understanding breast cancer and other chronic illnesses. Education through art has allowed the power of community to heal while promoting mental, emotional and physical well being
$196,268 spent$245,368 earned by the program48% of program spendingSurvivor support & rapid response - survivor support is a staple for us. We believe by celebrating breast cancer survivors gives them hope and encouragement. Openly addressing mental and emotional health supports survivors through our partership with licensed therapists and cancer coaches. An extension of our survivor support is our rapid response program. This program is literally saving lives. Rapid response addresses urgent patient needs. Housing costs have soared nationally making it even more difficult for patients to sustain. Our average request dramatically increased to $2,400. We supported 27 women.
$117,966 spent$15,322 earned by the program29% of program spendingResearch & advocacy - research - project soar (speaking our african american realities) launched our intervention study. "awakenings, a randomized controlled trial for black women diagnosed with breast cancer." two cohorts were held with 15 women in each cohort. Cohorts are intentionally capped at 15 to allow time and space for participants to openly share and process their feelings and emotions regarding their cancer journey. Advocacy - carrie's touch continues to be a voice for the voiceless fighting on the frontlines daily, advocating for policies that make a real difference in our community. Pharmacy benefit management (pbm) reform, and the protecting patient access to cancer and complex therapies act (protecting patients act) remains a priority for us

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 $286k to $721k (+152%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2018 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income fell $28k → $13k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 18% 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 Carries TOUCH Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
Carries TOUCH Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 82%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
99% 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 Carries TOUCH Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 100% · 2020 82% · 2021 97% · 2022 100% · 2023 92% — 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
50% of Carries TOUCH Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 38% 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
Carries TOUCH Inc draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 4 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
