Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

Let Every Woman Know - Alaska is dedicated to raising awareness, sharing information, and saving lives through local education of all Alaskans and support for those women.

  • In 2025 The Any Mountain Project undertook an expedition, bringing a group of ovarian cancer survivors, caregivers, and doctors to attempt to climb Mt. Rainier. They did this to raise awareness awareness about Ovarian Cancer and raise funds that went directly to ovarian cancer research. This successful expedition directly resulted in a $27,000 grant check to Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance Inc to fund cancer research.

    Expenses $122,868 · Grants $27,000 · Revenue $111,423

  • The 16th annual Alyeska Climbathon went virtual and took place on September 7th, 2025. Nearly 400 dedicated climbers hit the mountain! A heartfelt thank you to our event partner Alyeska Resort, event sponsors: Advanced Oncology Associates, Alaska Cyberknife Center, Dimond Vision Clinic and Mooses/Broken/BearTooth, and all the climbers and generous donors who helped raise nearly $123,000. 100% of funds stay in the State of Alaska with 25% going to the Girdwood Health Clinic and 75% to Let Every Woman Know-Alaska to further our mission of gynecologic cancer awareness and support for Alaskan women and families faced with a GYN cancer diagnosis.

    Expenses $72,056 · Grants $28,906 · Revenue $124,877

  • The 13th annual virtual Gynecologic Cancer Awareness & Arts of Healing Weekend took place January 7th-9th, 2025. Weekend features included an Art Showcase displayed at the Georgia Blue Gallery with sales online, a free one-day Gynecologic Cancer Course on Zoom, a Mardi Gras themed fundraiser, and a memorial on Sunday. People registered for the weekend events with virtual attendance throughout Alaska and the U.S. Roughly $80,000 was raised to further LEWKs mission of gynecologic cancer awareness, education, and support in Alaska.

    Expenses $66,846 · Revenue $70,145

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. 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.

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.
