$224,721 spentof which $89,795 as grants58% of program spendingSpecific assistance: tenaciously teals financial assistance program meets one of the most pressing and overlooked needs faced by cancer fighters: the steep, often unexpected costs of simply getting through treatment. Beyond medical bills, many individuals struggle to afford gas for countless trips to chemo, meals during long infusion days, rent or utility payments when income drops, or child-care and lodging costs when treatment requires travel. This program provides direct, compassionate financial relief so fighters can focus on healing rather than worrying about basic needs. In doing so, tenaciously teal not only lightens an immediate financial burden but also restores dignity and hope, affirming to each recipient that their community sees them, values them, and stands beside them in their fight.
$80,758 spentof which $60,042 as grants21% of program spendingBrave shave parties: the organization hosted their first brave shave for a male, and provided the experience to 10 cancer fighters and their families. Tenaciously teals brave shave program transforms one of the most difficult moments in a cancer journey- losing your hair-into a powerful act of courage, choice, and community. By providing a safe and supportive space for cancer fighters to shave their heads on their own terms, brave shaves turn what could feel like loss into an experience of empowerment. Each event is surrounded by friends, family, stylists, and volunteers who rally with encouragement, prayer, and celebration, reminding participants that they are not alone. In addition to receiving a compassionate shave from a volunteer stylist, participants are gifted a tenaciously teal care pack filled with comfort items for treatment and often have the option to take part in an empowerment shoot that captures their bravery in striking photographs. More than a haircut, a brave shave is a public declaration of strength and a visible expression of the organizations mission to bring love, community, empowerment, and resources to cancer fighters and their families.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 $616k to $723k (+17%).
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: 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
127% of TENACIOUSLY TEAL INCORPORATED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (83% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 2 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
