What Little Pink Houses of Hope does
Mission
To promote breast cancer recovery for survivors and their families so that they can focus on healing, reconnecting, and celebrating life. Cancer is physically, emotionally, and financially exhausting which is at the heart of our mission- to give breast cancer families a safe and supportive environment to focus on healing.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Little pink's signature model of family and couples' retreats offer an opportunity for holistic healing while patients are on the difficult cancer journey. 22 retreats were held during the year and $691,579 of lodging, meals and activities were donated. By securing housing for families in local retreat communities and leveraging the compassion of local networks of volunteers, the retreat programs continue to expand and grow. In 2023, more than 192 families were served with a week-long retreat vacation. Additionally, by providing travel assistance for those with demonstrated financial need, we are ensuring that everyone that is chosen can attend. This is making a powerful impact for low socioeconomic families as well as single mothers. Hundreds of volunteers help support with direct service to the families leading up to the retreat weeks as well as during the retreat week.

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 $256k to $379k (+48%).
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: 2020 1% · 2021 8% · 2022 6%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
79% 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 LITTLE PINK HOUSES OF HOPE.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $175k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
