Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

UKANDU RECOGNIZES THE IMPACT CHILDHOOD CANCER HAS ON THE ENTIRE FAMILY. UKANDU AIMS TO PROVIDE PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS A RESPITE FROM THE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL AND FINANCIAL TOLL CHILDHOOD CANCER POSES TO FAMILIES BY PROVIDING SPACE FOR FAMILIES TO GATHER AND EXPERIENCE THE 'RIGHTS OF PASSAGE' THAT MAY OTHERWISE BE MISSED DUE TO CANCER TREATMENT.

Activities or mission (Part I)

PROVIDE JOY, HOPE AND CONNECTION TO COMMUNITIES IMPACTED BY CHILDHOOD AND ADOLESCENT CANCER.

  • THE CAMP UKANDU PROGRAM IS DESIGNED FOR CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR SIBLINGS BETWEEN THE AGES OF 8 AND 18. THE CAMP PROGRAM IS ONE WEEK LONG AND SERVES APPROXIMATELY 125 KIDS AND INCLUDES BOTH MEDICAL AND CAMP STAFF. THERE ARE SEVERAL EVENTS EACH YEAR. UKANDU FAMILY CAMP IS AN ADDITIONAL EVENT AND A LOGICAL PROGRAM EXTENSION OF THE 'HOPE AND JOY' THAT CAMP UKANDU HAS DELIVERED FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES. ACKNOWLEDGING THAT TOO MANY CHILDREN WILL DIE BEFORE AGE 8, AND REALIZING THE BENEFITS OF ALLOWING ADULTS THE SAME OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THEIR PEERS WHO SHARE A CANCER JOURNEY, UKANDU FAMILY CAMP OFFERS THE ENTIRE FAMILY SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE CAMPING EXPERIENCES. PARENTS BENEFIT FROM HAVING A COMMUNITY OF PEERS WHO UNDERSTAND THEIR UNIQUE CHALLENGES AS MUCH AS THEIR CHILDREN DO. UKANDU FAMILY CAMP OFFERS SPECIAL OUTDOOR ADVENTURE PROGRAMMING FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY. THERE ARE NO AGE RESTRICTIONS AND EACH MEMBER OF THE FAMILY CAN ATTEND INCLUDING ALL SIBLINGS. UKANDU CORPS IS A SEPARATE SERVICE PROJECT FOR YOUNG 'LEADERS' BETWEEN THE AGES OF 12-16 AND IS A LOGICAL EXTENSION OF ONE OF UKANDU'S CORE VALUES THAT LEADERSHIP CAN COME FROM EVERYWHERE. YOUNG PEOPLE COME TOGETHER TO IDENTIFY A CONCERN IN THEIR COMMUNITY THAT THEY WANT TO ADDRESS. THEY ARE GUIDED BY ADULT STAFF AND VOLUNTEER ADVISORS, BUT THE DECISIONMAKING IS ALL UP TO THE CORPS.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
