Ratings & Metrics
Joint Costs
Prostate Cancer Foundation's rating was adjusted for Joint Costs. If you are a donor who considers direct mail, telemarketing, and other Joint Cost solicitations to be true charitable programs, the below efficiency ratios, which were not adjusted for joint costs, may better reflect your goals.
| Program % | Cost to Raise $100 |
|---|---|
| 83% | $6 |
Accounting rules allow charities to report some telemarketing, direct mail, and other solicitation costs as Program expenses. CharityWatch believes that most donors do not consider a charity's solicitation activities to be the Programs they are intending to support with their donations. We therefore adjust such expenses out of a charity's reported Program expense and add it to Fundraising expense prior to calculating its rating.

Analysts' Notes
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 Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) consolidated audit of December 31, 2020 (Note 6, Paycheck Protection Program Loans): "In April 2020, the Foundation applied for and received a first draw PPP [Paycheck Protection Program] loan in the amount of $820,000. The PPP loan, administered by the Small Business Administration (SBA), bears interest at a fixed rate of 1.0% per annum, has a term of two years, and is unsecured and guaranteed by the SBA. Interest accrues on the loan beginning with the initial disbursement; however, payments of principal and interest are deferred until the lender's determination of the amount of forgiveness applied for by the borrower is approved by the SBA. "In October 2020, the Foundation submitted its application for forgiveness for the full amount of the PPP loan. In November 2020, the loan was repaid to the lending institution by the SBA and the Foundation accordingly received notification of full forgiveness of the loan and accrued interest. Accordingly, the Foundation recognized debt forgiveness income of $820,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020. "In January 2021, the Foundation received approval from a lending institution for a second draw PPP loan of $895,750. The same general terms and conditions apply, except that second draw PPP loans have a maturity of five years." |
