Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance

What Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance does

Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance, now doing business as Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance (CGCA), is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2005 and headquartered at 8801 E Hampden Ave., Suite 104, Denver, Colorado. The organization provides emotional and financial support programs to Coloradans diagnosed with gynecologic cancers, including ovarian, fallopian tube, endometrial, uterine, cervical, vulvar, vaginal, and primary peritoneal cancers. Its core services are organized around Nicki's Circle (a peer support program connecting survivors with those in treatment), a financial assistance program that helps offset treatment-related costs, structured educational resources (Gynecologic Cancer 101, video resources, medical glossary, fertility sparing information), and specialized resource verticals for caregivers, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and patients seeking Jewish genetic testing. The organization also runs awareness and fundraising events, including Jodi's Race for Awareness and a 20th Anniversary & Homecoming event held in 2025.

CGCA operates a community-led go-to-market model: it reaches patients through its website, email newsletter, Facebook and Instagram channels, community events, and referrals from Colorado gynecologic oncologists. All programs are provided free of charge to patients. Revenue is generated exclusively through donations and fundraising — individual contributions, corporate sponsorships, and event proceeds — with no paid product or service line. The organization employs between 1 and 10 staff and is supported by a board of directors and a volunteer base that includes longstanding survivors who serve as peer mentors. In 2025, the organization rebranded from Colorado Ovarian Cancer Alliance to Colorado Gynecologic Cancer Alliance to reflect its expanded scope beyond ovarian cancer, while retaining COCA as a legacy identity. Formal partnerships are maintained with OCRA (Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance) and WOCD. Financial information, including annual revenue, is not publicly disclosed in the available source material.
