CharityWatch Analysts perform an in-depth analysis of charities' audited financial statements and IRS tax filings, and often review other documents such as state filings, annual reports, and fundraising contracts during their evaluations. Below are select notes that CharityWatch believes may be of interest to donors.

According to the Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (BCPP) audit of December 31, 2022 (Note L re: In-kind donations), BCPP received in-kind contributed goods consisting of "hiking gear, fundraising events goods, incentive prizes, food and beverage and services" in 2022 on which it placed a value of $167,572. In addition, BCPP received in-kind contributed legal services recognized for the purposes of "advising on various administrative legal matters, science and policy experts advising on identification of and elimination of toxic chemicals from our products and environment, outdoor event production, and marketing and advertising consulting." on which it placed a value of $197,018.

[Note: CharityWatch generally excludes the value of in-kind (non-cash) donations of goods and services from its calculations of Program % and Cost to Raise $100. More information on how grades are calculated and the treatment of in-kind donations can be found on the Our Process page.]
