What Noah's Bandage Project does
Mission
To end childhood cancer through awareness, support and the gift of hope. We do this through funding pediatric cancer research grants and collecting & distributing cool, fun bandages all over the world.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Pediatric cancer research - Noah's Bandage Project funds research grants exclusively through children's mercy hospital. All profits raised through fundraising activities and events support this research funding.
$46,116 spentof which $9,325 as grants25% of program spendingBandage drives - in addition to raising funds for pediatric cancer research grants, Noah's Bandage Project collects cool, fun bandages and provides them to kids in hospitals, children battling cancer, orphanages, schools, clinics, and other kid friendly locations. All ofthe bandages are collected through bandage drives hosted by the community. Bandage drives are held all across the us, all throughout the year. Most are coordinated by standalone organizations (schools, companies, churches, community groups) not directly affiliated withNoah's Bandage Project. The bandages are then donated to Noah's Bandage Project for distribution across the world. In 2024, we collected 27,276 boxes of bandages at an average retail value of $1.84/box resulting in fmv revenue of $50,188. We donated or handed out 55,741 boxes of bandages at an average retail value of $1.84/box or fair value of $102,563. Total expenses included supplies for bandage labeling and related events.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2022 to 2023, from $674k to $506k (−25%).
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 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 7 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income fell $30k → $20k.
8 of 18 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 NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT’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
NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT leans on a few funders — its largest provides 60% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
94% 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 NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 98% · 2019 73% · 2020 79% · 2021 68% · 2022 25% · 2023 98% — 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.
How long its funders stay
18% of NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 39% 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. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Kansas, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $72k arriving through sponsors registered in 8 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.
Against its field
NOAH'S BANDAGE PROJECT holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 13,754 health nonprofits its size.
