What this Community Made Possible

• 3,700 families served
• A new, data-forward research strategy
• Two federal bills for kids with cancer signed into law

Ending childhood brain cancer demands bold leadership, an aggressive strategy, and strong financial stewardship.

A federally-registered 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit organization, the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (EIN/Tax Identification Number: 58-1966822) exceeds industry standards and performs better or as well as most charities in our field with a  4-Star Charity Navigator rating, and the GuideStar Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, their highest level of recognition demonstrating our commitment to transparency, making progress and getting results.

The expertise of our Research/Technology Advisory Networks and the experiences of the patients, survivors, and families we serve help strategically shape our mission programs for maximum impact.

Our Financials

• Directed more than $65M to lifesaving research, accelerating breakthroughs for children battling brain tumors since the PBTF was founded.
• Supported more than 3,700 families with emotional care, financial assistance, and resources to face every challenge.
• Advocated for impactful policies, improving access to treatment and quality of life for young patients and survivors in 47 states.

This progress wouldn’t be possible without YOU—our supporters, partners, and advocates. But there’s still so much to achieve.

Historical Financial Documents

Financial Reporting Update

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation (PBTF) recently shifted its fiscal year, and as part of that transition we combined two audit periods into a single 21-month independent audit rather than completing two separate ones. That audit is underway and is expected to be complete in October 2026. Our updated audited financial statements and 2026 Form 990 will be posted here as soon as they’re finalized.

In the meantime, our most recently filed Form 990 and audited financials remain available here or reach out to our finance team with any questions.
