Mission and programs · 2025

Mission

The mission is to raise funds for local research, amplify awareness, and accelerate the fight to end sarcoma cancers - resulting in local and global development pathway for new sarcoma treatments and increase the speed of accurate diagnoses.

  • THE PAUL TAKACS FOUNDATION FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH, A 501c(3) TAX EXEMPT ORGANIZATION RAISES BOTH AWARENESS AND CRITICAL FUNDING FOR SARCOMA RESEARCH. SARCOMAS CURRENTLY REPRESENTS APPROXIMATELY 1% OF ADULT AND 15% OF CHILDHOOD CANCERS, AND THEREFORE LACK THE LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT FUNDING THAT OTHER MORE PREVALENT CANCERS OFTEN RECEIVE. IN ADDITION, THERE ARE 70 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SARCOMAS, ALL OF WHICH RESPOND DIFFERENTLY TO TREATMENT. WITH THESE STATISTICS, COUPLED WITH THE RESISTANCE THAT MANY SARCOMA TYPES DISPLAY TO TRADITIONAL CANCER TREATMENTS, THERE IS A PRESSING NEED FOR PRIVATE FUNDING TO SUPPORT THE EFFORT TOWARD MORE EFFECTIVE TREATMENTS FOR SARCOMAS.

    Expenses $532,174 · Revenue $608,661

  • Day One Program offers patient resources and comfort kits to newly diagnosed sarcoma patients and families.

    Expenses $10,360 · Revenue $58,000

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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

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.
