Programs
SUPPORT PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Support- Annual Survivor Retreat: An opportunity for a weekend respite for women with ovarian and gynecologic cancers. Our goal is to help reduce stress by exploring ways to find renewal and healing. In group settings we dive into how to find meaning, hope, joy & grace after a diagnosis of ovarian or gynecologic cancer. During the weekend participants have opportunities to explore how meditation, a gentle yoga practice or journaling can enhance their lives. We leave time for participants to rest, socialize and explore nature on the grounds of the retreat center. Support Support Group Program: Information and support for women with ovarian and all gynecologic cancer are essential.

$39,137 spent$700 earned by the program72% of program spendingEDUCATION PROGRAM DESCRIPTION Education - Gynecologic cancer is deadly. There is no screening test for most gynecologic cancer.

We also know that some women have risk factors for developing gynecologic cancer. Across the country, small grassroots organizations like the Ovarian Cancer Project are making inroads in educating individuals, communities, and health professionals with information on the symptoms and risks of all gynecologic cancer. The Ovarian Cancer Project distributes this information and information about what action to take if an individual has symptoms or risk factors throughout the region.

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 2018 to 2019, from $88k to $204k (+132%).
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 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
68% of Ovarian Cancer Project Inc’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

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
2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $5k → $37k.
2 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 19% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
Ovarian Cancer Project Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 31% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
50% 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 Ovarian Cancer Project Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 54% — diversifying over time.
“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
Ovarian Cancer Project Inc draws 57% of its grant income from funders outside New York, across 3 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
