What The Foundation for Living Beauty Dba Living Beauty Cancer Foundation does
Mission
The ORGANIZATION exists to educate, uplift and empower women with cancer by providing women with opportunities to explore wellness and healing modalities while developing a sense of community with other women along the same path. We are driven by the understanding that the challenges women have to overcome on their cancer journeys are complex and multifaceted. With this in mind, programs are specifically designed to facilitate the healing of an individual as a whole: mind, body and spirit. All of our programs and services are free for women with cancer.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
THE ORGANIZATION'S signature programs are Overnight Wellness Retreats, 3-4 day journeys that transport women out of the everyday stress of coping with cancer into a peaceful environment where they are fully immersed in holistic lifestyle experiences. From special healthy menus to sessions focused on healing, every aspect of their stay IS PROVIDED with healthy and compassionate care. An array of retreat activities includes yoga, guided meditation, sound healing, art therapy, educational experiences and other important healing modalities. Day Retreats are one-day snapshots of our wellness retreats, and provide women with a day long experience focused on one aspect of healing, like heart healing, living a new normal, nutrition and more. Education is a critical part of cancer healing, and THE ORGANIZATION'S Educational Workshops focus on topics of critical importance to women with cancer, like reducing toxins, meditation, exercise and clean beauty. Sisterhood-Building Events help women organically connect with one another through shared experiences and form a bond of support to carry them through their journey. One-on-one support is also provided to THE ORGANIZATION including energy…

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 2020 to 2021, from $225k to $442k (+96%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2020 9% · 2022 9%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
124% of THE FOUNDATION FOR LIVING BEAUTY DBA LIVING BEAUTY CANCER FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (82% for the typical peer).

From the IRS filings of THE FOUNDATION FOR LIVING BEAUTY DBA LIVING BEAUTY CANCER FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 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 THE FOUNDATION FOR LIVING BEAUTY DBA LIVING BEAUTY CANCER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 74% · 2018 56% · 2019 100% · 2020 53% · 2021 53% · 2022 63% · 2023 53% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $176k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
