01What it does

What Mg Charities does

Mission

Mg Charities is organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, and educational purposes. The purpose of this organization is to bring awareness to and raise money for cancer prevention and cure.

As stated on its FY2022 Form 990-EZ.

Program

  1. Mg Charities traditionally hosts an event in minneapolis, minnesota. This event, the mind over matter charity classic, raises funds for the givens brain tumor center, a partnership with allina health. The givens brain tumor center at abbott northwestern hospital in minneapolis was introduced in 2016 with funds raised from the mind over matter charity classic event. Unfortunately, no event was able to be held in 2022 due to the lingering economic effects of the covid-19 pandemic. The primary mission of the givens brain tumor center is to create a world-class brain tumor center that features coordinated whole person care, includes state-of-the-art diagnostics, conducts and publishes the results of leading edge clinical research, attracts the best and brightest clinicians, and connects the community.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2020: the base held at 1 funder, grant income rose $7k → $10k.

1 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 13% 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 MG CHARITIES’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

MG CHARITIES leans on a few funders — its largest provides 75% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

88% 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 MG CHARITIES.

“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k 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.
