My Nonprofit Reviews

Lungevity does two things very well: it really cares about those with lung cancer, focusing substantial resources on information and patient/survivor support programs, and it funds research into treatment and early detection. It is a well managed non profit with administrative expenses below 10% of total revenue. The annual International Lung Cancer Survivorship Conference is a substantial event bringing hope and new therapy information to patients and caring family members.

LUNGevity does three vital things for lung cancer patients and their families: drives science by funding research, empowers patients by providing insight and assistance through online and telephone support, and improves outcomes by broadcasting knowledge about new treatments and methods.

LUNGevity is a nonprofit focused on a very deserving but underserved (some would say ignored) population of cancer patients -- those with lung cancer.
LUNGevity does two things well that distinguish it from other non-profits. First it supports and sustains lung cancer survivors and those who care for them. It sponsors a very effective online forum that brings survivors and caregivers together to foster hope, share treatment experiences, and spread side-effect mitigation ideas. Second it funds research to advance the science and therefore the development of effective curative treatments.
