Mission Impact and Financials

Our Vision: A world without childhood brain tumors.
Our Mission: Care. Cure. Thrive.

The Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation® is committed to leading the way toward a future without childhood cancer. Because of supporters’ generosity, advocacy, and encouragement, thousands of families turn to us each year and find the resources and community support they need on their cancer journey.

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 Advisory Network and the experiences of the patients, survivors, and families we serve help strategically shape our mission programs for maximum impact.

Our Financials

Together, we’ve made tremendous strides in the fight against pediatric brain cancer. Thanks to our generous supporters and dedicated partners, here’s what we accomplished:

• Directed more than $54M to lifesaving research, accelerating breakthroughs for children battling brain tumors since the PBTF was founded.
• Supported 1,200 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.

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