Finance & Accountability
Charity Navigator evaluates a nonprofit organization’s financial health including measures of stability, efficiency and sustainability. We also track accountability and transparency policies to ensure the good governance and integrity of the organization.
No Score
We have not issued this nonprofit a Finance & Accountability score. This does not indicate a positive or negative assessment, only that we have not reached a conclusion for the following reason:
This organization cannot be evaluated by our Encompass Rating methodology because it does not e-file IRS Form 990
To ensure year-to-year consistency, the Encompass Rating System’s Finance & Accountability beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS Form 990.
Charity Navigator does not currently have the data required from e-filed IRS Forms 990 for Jessica June Childrens Cancer Foundation Inc. under the EIN: 13-4280980.
This indicates that Jessica June Childrens Cancer Foundation Inc. may still be filing paper Forms 990.
The lack of a rating for this reason simply means that the organization does not meet our rating criteria. It does not indicate a positive or negative assessment by Charity Navigator.

Outcomes and Cost
Outcomes: Changes in the lives of those served by a nonprofit. They can be caused by the nonprofit.
Costs: The money spent by a nonprofit and its partners and beneficiaries.
Impact: Outcome caused by a nonprofit relative to its cost.
Cost-effectiveness: A judgment as to whether the cost was a good use of resources to cause the outcome.
Outcome Metric
Increase in income for a patient with medical conditions
Outcome Data Source
Ratings are based on data the nonprofit itself collects on its work. We use the most recent year with sufficient data. Typically, this data allows us to calculate direct changes in participants' lives, such as increased income.
Output data collected during the program. Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation publicly reports data on the dollar value of all financial assistance provided to patients, which we use to calculate the additional income received.
Method for Attributing Outcomes
We don't know if the observed changes were caused by the nonprofit's program or something else happening at the same time (e.g., a participant got a raise). To determine causation, we take the outcomes we observe and subtract an estimate of the outcomes that would have happened even without the program (i.e., counterfactual outcomes).
We estimate the dollar amount of financial assistance attributable to the nonprofit by comparing the financial assistance given by the nonprofit to the financial assistance that would have been provided in the absence of the nonprofit (the "counterfactual"). In this case, we estimate the counterfactual to be zero based on two assumptions. First, we assume there is functionally no upper limit to the amount of cash transfers that continue to be valuable to patients as they are far from reaching the point of diminishing marginal returns, such that aid provided by one nonprofit does not displace aid provided by another. Second, we assume that nonprofits work independently and do not coordinate the provision of aid to the same patient. As a result, all aid provided by the nonprofit to patients with medical conditions can be directly attributable to the nonprofit.
Cost Data Source
After estimating the program's outcomes, we need to determine how much it cost to achieve those outcomes. All monetary costs are counted, whether they are borne by a nonprofit service deliverer or by the nonprofit’s public and private partners.
Cost data reported by Jessica June Childrens Cancer Foundation Inc. and data and assumptions about partner and beneficiary costs.
Cost Calculation
$76,882 program costs + $0 partner costs + $0 beneficiary costs = $76,882 total costs
Impact and Determination
We calculate impact, defined as the change in outcomes attributable to a program divided by the cost to achieve those outcomes.
Impact Calculation
$76,882 total costs / 75,524 of financial assistance provided = roughly $200 provides $200 in financial assistance to a patient in need.
Benchmark for Rating
Impact & Results scores of financial assistance to patients programs are based on income generated relative to cost. Programs receive an Impact & Results score of 100 if they increase income for a recipient by more than $1.50 for every $1 spent and a score of 75 if income increases by more than $0.85 for every $1 spent. If a nonprofit reports impact but doesn't meet the benchmark for cost-effectiveness, it earns a score of 50.
Determination
Highly cost-effective
Why We Could Be Wrong
- The outcome could oversimplify total impact. Using "dollars of financial assistance" as the metric of analysis does not capture potential improvement in patients' health due to lower stress and better treatment adherence. However, there is limited evidence to support such health effects so we limit our analysis to the amount of assistance provided.
- There could be multiple important outcomes not captured in our analysis.
- The nonprofit may be spending additional money in order to serve harder-to-reach and/or particularly valuable populations.
- In the absence of better data, we assume uniform counterfactual rates for programs, at the risk of masking variation across nonprofits.
- Our estimates rely on data made public by the nonprofit on its website, annual reports, financial statements and Form 990s.
- We only analyze programs that meet our criteria. As a result, this report may not fully reflect the impact of the nonprofit.
- We do not assess what explains the nonprofit's cost-effectiveness.

What is your organization aiming to accomplish?
Provide emergency financial assistance to families in crisis enduring pediatric cancer. The mission of the Jessica June Children's Cancer Foundation is to provide emergency financial assistance for children fighting cancer to ensure access to basic human necessities. The Foundation also advocates for and raises awareness of childhood cancer.
What are your strategies for making this happen?
We work with partner hospital social workers who submit applications to JJCCF. The Foundation serves qualifying residents throughout the state of Florida via partner hospital referrals.
What are your organization's capabilities for doing this?
JJCCF prides itself on solving the immediate needs of children and families going through their most dreadful time. Without this ongoing program (Financial Assistance), many children undergoing cancer treatment would not have access to basic human necessities during times of crisis. Parents are never prepared for a childhood cancer diagnosis and the financial challenge that immediately follows.
How will your organization know if you are making progress?
Almost every penny raised during 2018 was applied to our Emergency Financial Assistance and Advocacy Programs. JJCCF achieved a high level of expense efficiency as indicated in our Independent Audit of our 2018 financials (97% of Total Expenses were Program Service Expenses).
What have and haven't you accomplished so far?
JJCCF has provided emergency financial assistance, hope, compassion and love to 4,561 children and family members fighting childhood cancer (as of 12/31/18) throughout the state of Florida.

Constituent Feedback
Constituent Feedback and Listening Practice data are not available for this organization. Nonprofit organizations are encouraged to fill out the How We Listen section of their Candid profile. This data will provide the basis for the initial evaluation of Community & Culture.
Why It Matters
Like the Encompass Rating System, the Culture & Community Beacon is designed to evolve as relevant metrics are developed and ready for integration. Our partnership with Feedback Labs and Guidestar by Candid, and other partners including Fund for Shared Insight, GlobalGiving and Keystone Accountability, enables us to launch the first version of this beacon with Constituent Feedback information collected on Candid's site.
Feedback practices have been shown to support better Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion outcomes, an essential area of assessment that we intend to further expand and develop in the future. Feedback Labs has documented several studies which indicate that beyond achieving organizational goals, nonprofits that are attentive and responsive to concerns and ideas raised by beneficiaries establish stronger relationships with the people they serve, promote greater equity, and empower constituents in ways that can help to ensure better long-term outcomes. You can find resources to help nonprofits improve their feedback practices here.
