Cancer patient advocacy
About
CancerLINC is a greater Richmond area nonprofit organization with the mission of easing the burden of cancer for patients and their families by providing assistance, education, and referral to free legal, financial, and community resources. In fiscal year 2019, CancerLINC helped 401 patients with 486 legal and financial issues resulting from their disease. These patients were connected with 175 professionals and others, whose services are provided on a pro bono basis to help these patients address the problems they face- eviction, bankruptcy, employment security and similar situations. CancerLINC does not charge for its services, relying on fundraising, special events and grant funding from foundations and corporations to support its work.FY2018 ended with an $103K deficit, which was directly related to a four-month gap in executive leadership, staff turnover, and lower than expected grant and event revenue. A new Executive Director was hired in June 2018, and CancerLINC immediately implemented a plan to shift its fundraising strategy to be more diverse and sustainable. This plan focused on increasing support from individuals, corporations and foundations with less reliance on event revenue. Considering the time necessary to make this revenue transition, the FY2019 budget was reduced by one full-time staff position and discretionary expenses were cut to help compensate for a necessary reduction in two traditional fundraising events. Unfortunately, FY2019 ended with an $89K deficit. CancerLINC has since made encouraging progress in FY2020 to stabilize and expand its revenue sources and expects to end the year in a neutral or positive revenue status.
