What Veterans Prostate Cancer Awareness Inc does
Mission
Veterans Prostate Cancer Awareness Inc. was formed in December 2016 with the mission of providing educational services to Veteran & Active-Duty populations about prostate cancer. The MISSION STATEMENT of VPCa is to Promote prostate cancer awareness among active military & veterans; Educate veterans on proper care & treatment alternatives for prostate cancer; and Promote the latest technologies available for the treatment & cure of prostate cancer.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
We continued the 50 Vets in 50 States monthly webinar program. We provide online seminars to assist with distribution of educational materials and awareness activities to the Veteran and active-duty military population. Monthly meetings were planned as guided moderated networking forums and will include a support group for newly diagnosed Veteran prostate cancer patients. As a result of pressure to reduce our communications about the veteran population being of higher incidence rate of developing the cancer and the need to screen earlier at age 40 we reduced the number of monthly webinars and ceased this program in August of 2024.
$80,000 spent$80,000 earned by the program28% of program spendingVPCa Round Table Series - Prostate Cancer Care for our Veterans. Our initial efforts to facilitate this objective are to host four (4) "VPCa Round Table Discussions" each focusing on providing better care for the Veteran with prostate cancer. We host these sessions in the evenings just prior to the major trade events throughout the year. A roundtable discussion is an organized conversation with one moderator, several chosen speakers that bring a variety of perspectives to a subject, and an audience who may simply observe or participate by asking questions. VPCa moderator will present the topic and invite leading Researchers, Urologists, Oncologists, VA Leadership, Industry Leaders, and Veteran Prostate Cancer patients to participate. The series will be professionally captured and produced for reference and to capture the expert opinions for all to observe. We hope to hold these Round Tables at AUA (April), and ASCO (June). Roundtables date back to 1155 A.D. when King Arthur popularized the phrase with his group of advisors known as the Knights of the Round Table. Since then, everyone from world powers developing actions for global peace treaties to Fortune 500 companies debating…

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 2024 to 2025, from $384k to $19k (−95%).
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.
59% of VETERANS PROSTATE CANCER AWARENESS INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (100% for the typical peer).

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $103 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
