What Legal Information Network for Cancer does
Mission
1. CancerLINC provides legal and financial services for cancer patients who reside or are being treated in Central and Southern Virginia.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
CancerLINC connects cancer patients with volunteer attorneys, financial advisors, and other resources to help them with legal and financial matters that result from their cancer diagnoses. CancerLINC is a greater Richmond area nonprofit organization with the mission of helping cancer patients and their families overcome legal and financial obstacles when they need it the most. In fiscal year 2024, CancerLINC helped 750 patients with almost 1,000 legal and financial issues resulting from their disease. These patients were connected with over 160 professionals and others resources, whose services are provided on a pro bono basis to help these patients address the problems they face - medical debt, eviction, bankruptcy, employment insecurity, benefit denials, and similar situations. Additionally, CancerLINC provides life planning legal services such as preparing wills, power of attorney forms, etc., for cancer patients. CancerLINC does not charge for its services, relying on fundraising, special events and grant funding from foundations and corporations to support its work.

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 2017 to 2018, from $470k to $342k (−27%).
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: 2022 11% · 2023 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
75% of LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

From the IRS filings of LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 38 funders by total. Association, not causation.

How concentrated its funding is
LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 17% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
29% 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 LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 36% · 2019 57% · 2020 23% · 2021 18% · 2022 22% · 2023 24% — 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
35% of LEGAL INFORMATION NETWORK FOR CANCER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 53% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $85k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
