When you cover our costs, 100% of every other donation goes to research. PinkRibbon International operates in 96 countries — your operational donation keeps the entire mission alive.
PinkRibbon International pledges that 85% of every donation goes directly to scientific research and patient care. The remaining 15% is what keeps the entire operation running — and without it, none of the research would be possible.
Operational funding covers the essential infrastructure: global coordination between research partners, donor management systems, compliance and governance, communications that reach millions, and the day-to-day administration of a 501(c)(3) nonprofit operating across 96 countries.
Keeps the global donor communication system running for one day, connecting supporters across 96 countries.
Covers one week of compliance and governance operations, ensuring full transparency and accountability.
Sustains the administrative infrastructure for a full month, including legal, financial, and coordination services.
We keep our operational costs to just 15% of total donations — significantly below the nonprofit industry average of 25–30%. Every operational dollar is scrutinized and justified, because we know that our donors expect us to be as efficient as we are effective.
By supporting operations directly, you ensure that 100% of research-directed donations can go exactly where they are needed: to the scientists and clinicians fighting to end breast cancer.
When you support operations, you free up every research dollar to do what it does best — save lives.
