What Reach Out for Life does
Mission
The Organization is dedicated to the early detection of breast cancer through the administration of two programs - the Free Mammography Outreach Program (FMOP) and Community Awareness and Outreach Program.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
The Free Mammography Outreach Program targets two populations of identified need, the Hispanic and African American women who are low income and underinsured. As administrator, Reach Out for Life distributes vouchers to free clinics and medical centers that act as the medical home bases for the underserved population. Those partners qualify Program participants as below the 200% Federal Poverty Level and underinsured. They set appointments with participating imaging center partners which provide procedures at discounted rates. The Program does not discriminate for general health, age or citizenship, and the women served receive all recommended screening and diagnostic procedures at no cost. The program experienced a decline in this activity As a Federal Program began covering procedures not included before. The focus became identifying and assisting women who did not qualify for the Federal Program - Every Woman's Life. The Free Mammography Outreach Program has provided access to free breast imaging procedures for thousands of low income and under-insured women in the community. For more than a decade this Program has adapted to satisfy the needs of the target populations,…
$59,933 spent73% of program spendingThe Community Awareness & Outreach Program is important accessory program. The Reach Out Campaign builds public awareness in the community of the serious need for regular mammograms to ensure early detection of breast cancer. Free programs are ineffective without the structures that link those with need to the services that they are missing. The Reach Out Campaign identifies women in need of support and provides educational materials to build understanding of the need for early detection through regular mammograms within this vulnerable population. The greatest barrier to care is the fear that women have of what a mammogram might reveal. Often they feel that they cannot deal with one more problem in life. The Reach Out Campaign educates and directs the underserved population toward access to free breast imaging. By navigating each individual through her own breast health screenings, ROFL works to build a healthier community by reducing mortality rates from breast cancer in the Richmond, VA area Tri-Cities. Community Awareness initiatives target African Americans and Hispanic populations and these two groups account for most of the participants in the Free Mammography Program.

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 2022 to 2023, from $35k to $64k (+83%).
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.
100% of REACH OUT FOR LIFE’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. 4 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 5 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $57k → $45k.
3 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 REACH OUT FOR LIFE’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
REACH OUT FOR LIFE leans on a few funders — its largest provides 48% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
41% 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 REACH OUT FOR LIFE.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 53% · 2018 100% · 2019 39% · 2020 86% · 2021 56% · 2022 50% · 2023 56% — 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
25% of REACH OUT FOR LIFE's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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
99% of REACH OUT FOR LIFE's grant income comes from Virginia funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $26k arriving through sponsors registered in 3 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.
