Mission Statement

Lung cancer will kill three times more Americans in 2019 than any other cancer – and almost twice as many women as breast cancer. Until now, a lung cancer diagnosis offered scant hope. Less than one in five of those diagnosed survived even five years. But today there is real hope in the form of groundbreaking, promising new treatments. Prelude to a Cure Inc* is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to doing something about this dreadful disease. We are an entirely volunteer organization, founded by a cancer survivor with a group of friends who have lost close family members to lung or other cancers. Our mission is to spread awareness of this horrific disease and mobilize support in the pursuit of more effective new treatments and earlier detection methods.

CharityAI™ rates charities from 0 to 100 using public filings (IRS Form 990 and the equivalent registries outside the US) together with the information the charity itself provides on DonationX. Ratings are recalculated every quarter, without human bias, and shown as stars.

Four pillars

Financial strength30%

Program expense ratio, fundraising efficiency, operating reserves, liabilities and revenue diversification, compared with similar organizations.

Reliability20%

Standing with the registry, filing history, verification and how complete the profile is.

Effectiveness25%

How much goes to programs and how consistently the organization delivers them.

Impact25%

The outcomes the charity reports on DonationX: people served, cost per service and results.

Stars

★★★★★ 80–100 ★★★★☆ 60–79 ★★★☆☆ 40–59 ★★☆☆☆ 20–39 ★☆☆☆☆ 1–19

A pillar with no data counts as zero. Without impact metrics the score is capped at 59 (three stars): only the charity can supply that data.
The coverage grade (A to D) says how much filing data the score rests on; NONE means there is not enough to rate.
An organization that is not in good standing with its registry (for example a revoked tax exemption) is shown as Not rated.
"Compared with peers" places the charity's key ratios against organizations of the same country, sector and size.
