What Say Yes to Hope does
Mission
Say YES to Hope provides information and support to all those affected by advanced cancers. Many programs are provided to facilitate this support through online services and peer-to-peer support programs. We encompass underserved populations regardless of economic or social backgrounds.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Lunch and Learn: Living with Metastatic Colorectal Cancer is a program created to unite patients who are doing just that - living with cancer that has spread from the colon to other areas of the body. We will discuss the issues (access to treatments and care, management of side effects, pain control, financial hurdles and psychosocial issues) as well as the barriers that often confront them during a relaxing and connecting lunch. By combining peer conversations with experts in the field, many important issues will be addressed and patients attending will be empowered. YES and a team of professionals will reach cancer patients and encourage them to become self-advocates of action and change. Attendees will leave the meeting with information and resources that will help them to discover treatment options, manage their side effects, increase longevity, improve quality of life, and erase the stigma associated with stage IV colorectal cancer. The Lunch and Learn program served 12 regional areas across the south, mid west and northeast and was conducted throughout the year of 2025

Our mobile unit can provide connections with hard-to-reach populations. Populations that may benefit from our mobile unit include people who lack transportation services, isolated populations, rural populations, economically disadvantaged communities, and diverse groups that may not otherwise receive necessary education about the importance of Clinical Trials.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2023, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2023, 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.

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.
