What Meredith's Miracles Colon Cancer Foundation does
Mission
The primary purpose of meredith's miracles is two-fold: to save lives by raising awareness of the symptoms that might indicate colon cancer, and to provide financial assistance to young adults undergoing treatment for colon cancer.
As stated on its FY2017 Form 990-EZ.
Program
The organization's granting program extends financial grants to adults under the age of 40 across the united states who are undergoing treatments for colon cancer. In 2017, mmccf gave a total of 35,128 in grants to such individuals. These grants included everything from mortgage, utility, and auto loan payments to financial assistance with childcare services and help buying prescription pain medications.
The first program described on its most recent Form 990-EZ.

MEREDITH'S MIRACLES COLON CANCER FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 81% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
81% 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 MEREDITH'S MIRACLES COLON CANCER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2018 79% · 2020 100% · 2021 72% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
81% of MEREDITH'S MIRACLES COLON CANCER FOUNDATION's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $195 that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from funders outside Kentucky, across 3 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $814 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
