Mission

To make trusted cancer care accessible for every patient we serve through compassion, innovation and purpose.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Provides multidisciplinary oncology services to cancer patients throughout Arkansas.

  • For more than 40 years, CARTI has been synonymous with cutting-edge, state of the art cancer care treatment in Arkansas. From its origins as one of the nation's leading networks of freestanding, not-for-profit radiation therapy providers to its modern evolution as a comprehensive cancer center, CARTI remains committed to its core mission of providing the finest quality cancer treatment and compassionate patient care while also continuing to improve our knowledge through education and research. CARTI first opened on April 5, 1976 as the central Arkansas radiation therapy institute on the campus of St. Vincent Infirmary Medical Center in Little Rock. Operating as an independent network of radiation therapy providers, CARTI would grow to include ten more satellite locations throughout Arkansas. Continued on Schedule O.CARTI was incorporated in 1970 and opened its first radiation therapy center in little rock on April 5, 1976. Little Rock Hematology/Oncology (lRHO) became part of CARTI on December 1, 2011. Hematology Oncology Services of Arkansas (HOSA) joined the CARTI network on January 1, 2013. Physicians on staff at CARTI include twelve medical oncologists, eight radiation oncologists, three diagnostic radiologists, one surgical oncologist, and one interventional oncologist. CARTI has a statewide network of satellite clinics. Medical oncology is offered in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Clinton, Conway, El Dorado, Heber Springs, Russellville and Stuttgart. Radiation oncology is offered in Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway Mountain Home, and Searcy. Ribbon cutting ceremonies for the CARTI Cancer Center - a new, 170,000 square foot, 90 million multi-story comprehensive treatment facility located in Little Rock were conducted on October 16, 2015. Serving as the administrative hub of the CARTI network, the CARTI Cancer Center is located just south of interstate 630 on a 37.12-acre plot with easy access to I-630 to allow patients easier access to fully integrated cancer care. The CARTI Cancer Center officially opened its doors and began treating patients on November 2, 2015. CARTI treats a wide variety of cancers, with the three most widely treated cancers being breast, lung and colorectal. As the largest not-for-profit network of private practice cancer care specialists in Arkansas, CARTI currently sees an estimated 30,000 patients per year. In addition to utilizing leading-edge radiation therapy to help those Arkansans who are diagnosed with cancer, CARTI has a "ray of hope" network that exists to care for the whole patient. From public education programs like cancer answers; to wellness initiatives like massage therapy. The ray of hope network provides a broad scope of assistance to meet the many and diverse needs of those fighting for their lives, as well as helping the family members who support them. As part of the ray of hope network, CARTI offers a comprehensive counseling and resource program to inform patients of available resources. Social workers assess patient need requests to assist him or her in obtaining the resources necessary to make their cancer treatment possible. Patients who qualify financially are offered assistance in the areas of lodging and transportation as well as financial assistance for prescription medicines and personal needs as they relate to their treatment. During the fiscal year, CARTI patient assistance referrals were made to multiple patients for the following assistance programs: transportation, housing, emotional support, therapeutic massage, dental referrals and other referrals including but not limited to medicine, nutrition, translation, etc. CARTI is committed to Arkansas communities by providing a tremendous number of outreach programs at no cost to participants. CARTI provides multiple functions throughout the year including: the cancer answers educational luncheon is open to the community for former patients as well as community members to attend and become better informed about issues related to cancer. Weekend retreats are offered at no cost each year for cancer patients and their families to learn coping mechanisms, communication and resource use. The CARTI Kids Program is a program designed for pediatric cancer survivors and will assist in emotional, physical and financial challenges as well as provide events and scholarships to the participating children.

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. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Declared on its 2023 return

Declared as related by

Taxable family

From Schedule R Parts I, III and IV: entities that legally are the filer, and taxable partnerships, corporations and trusts it is related to. These record ownership and control, not shared board members or money.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
