What My Faulty Gene does
Mission
We provide information & assistance to underrepresented uninsured & underinsured individuals whose family medical history suggests genetic testing might be helpful in identifying an increased risk of cancer due to a genetic mutation. We believe that everyone in need of germline genetic testing should have access including family members of individuals with a known mutation.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990-EZ.

1 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 2% 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 My Faulty Gene’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.

“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
My Faulty Gene draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $268 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.
