What Rebecca's Wish does
Mission
Rebecca's Wish is a non-profit organization dedicated to benefitting the public through the continuous improvement of the education and research towards the prevention, treatment, and cure for pancreatic diseases; and to provide care and support to the patients and families impacted by those diseases.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Promotion and fundraising: this will be conducted by volunteers and overseen by the board of directors. The goal of promotional and fundraising activities will be to develop awareness of the organization and to develop a support base that is committed to continual financial and operational support of the organization. There are no geographic or time-related restrictions to this activity.
Partnership management: the directors and any authorized staff members may develop relationships with organizations and/or individuals who have the ability to further the organization's work towards the accomplishment of its goals. This encapulates the activities that surround the organization's involvement with hospitals, physicians, research centers, and/or other organizations that Rebecca's Wish provides support to for a specific purpose. For example, if Rebecca's Wish decides to give 1mm to hospital x to establish a wing for patients with pancreatic issues, then Rebecca's Wish is essentially partnering with hospital x and will want to monitor the effort to make sure hospital x follows through on their end of the commitment.
Capital allocation: the directors will vote to allocate the organization's capital according to opportunities that are presented to the board that are aligned with the organization's purpose and mission. The board will seek to support those opportunities that yield the most promising and effective educational, research, and treatment outcomes; and those opportunities to provide financial and/or logistical support to the patient and families of those impacted by pancreatic disease. This activity will be subject to quarterly reviews by the board to ensure the most prudent stewardship possible and to understand the need for additional capital needs.
Charitable outreach: the directors will appoint volunteers to provide financial and logistical support to patients and their families who are in need of support to access the care they require as a result of their pancreatic disease process. Patients and/or families in need of support can be brought to the attention of the board through an application process accessed through the organization's website or through its partners. In each case, a director will personally oversee the support plan developed by the volunteer and will seek board approval for expenditures as applicable. There are no geographic, time, or financial limitations applicable to this activity. Research grants: the directors will monitor capital allocated to research efforts through periodic reviews that track the progress and effectiveness of each project according to its approved plan. The product of each successful research project will be promoted by the organization as appropriate to ensure the widest possible benefit to the public.

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 2019 to 2020, from $731k to $1.2M (+67%).
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.
107% of REBECCA'S WISH’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. 2 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 broadened from 1 funder to 10 funders, grant income rose $100 → $117k.
10 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 83% 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 REBECCA'S WISH’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
REBECCA'S WISH leans on a few funders — its largest provides 33% of grant income and the top three 71%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 REBECCA'S WISH.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 57% · 2019 73% · 2020 51% · 2021 69% · 2022 44% · 2023 34% — 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.
How long its funders stay
70% of REBECCA'S WISH's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
83% of REBECCA'S WISH's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $125k that is directly attributable, 94% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $592k arriving through sponsors registered in 10 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
REBECCA'S WISH holds deeper cash reserves than three-quarters of the 13,754 health nonprofits its size.
