We match the street line and ZIP code as the IRS gives them, ignoring case and outer spaces and nothing else, so "AVE" and "AVENUE" count as different streets and this list can miss some. A shared address can mean related organizations or a shared office, but it can also be a registered agent, a mail drop or a service provider holding mail for unrelated clients. It is not, by itself, evidence that two organizations are connected.

Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

RACE Cancer Foundation fights cancer through action and prevention. Our running events promote health and wellness in the community, reducing the risk of cancer while raising funds and awareness for organizations dedicated to fighting cancer. Their programs create opportunities to reduce and detect cancer through education, prevention, and screening measures. RACE Cancer's Sunscreen Squad fights skin cancer by bringing free sunscreen dispensers to outdoor events across New England.

  • RACE Cancer Foundation produced races and running challenges engaging nearly 3,000 individuals. The 2024 edition of the Super Sunday 5k and 5 Miler had 1,335 finishers The 2024 Charles River Marathon sold out. Additional events included our Winter Challenge, Summer Series races, Oktoberfest 5k, and Charles River Half Marathon. This year marked the organizations first time producing a cycling event, the Tour de Barnstable, which had over 200 finishers. Staying physically fit reduces the incidence of many types of cancer and has a positive impact on the lives of cancer survivors.

    Expenses $262,417 · Revenue $268,655

  • RACE Cancer Foundation donated $27,282 to charities in 2024. This year, proceeds from Super Sunday went to directly support two families impacted by a fatal car crash. $10,176 was donated to each of the Kito Jackson Scholarship and Kirstin Tracey. This departure from more mission aligned charities was one off in nature. In addition to those donations, $2,062 went to a recipient of the Matt Fishman Scholarship for high school students impacted by cancer or another medical hardship. $2,006 went to the Cape Wellness Collaborative which provides free-of-charge integrative therapies, nutritious meals and emotional support for anyone in the Cape Cod community facing cancer. $1,000 went to Tommy's Place that owns and operates year-round magical vacation homes for kids fighting cancer. Smaller additional donations were made to various organizations.

    Expenses $27,282 · Grants $27,282

  • In addition to its own events, Race Cancer Foundation's Sunscreen Squad distributed sunscreen at the Boston Calling music festival, and at the start of the Boston Marathon.

    Expenses $1,261

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.

Auto-Revocation List

  • Exemption revoked 15 May 2013, reinstated 15 May 2013.

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.
