What Your Prostate Cancer.help, Inc does

Your Prostate Cancer.help, Inc is a Florida-incorporated 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 99-0605198, retroactively effective January 1, 2024) headquartered at 15318 Cricket Lane, Fort Myers, FL. It provides free patient-facing education for men with prostate cancer and their caregivers, centered on the concept of Shared Decision Making — encapsulated in its tagline 'Better questions will get you better answers.' The organization was founded by Jan Manarite, an award-winning prostate cancer advocate and educator since 2001, who built the program from her experience as caregiver to her late husband Dominic, who survived 13 years after a metastatic prostate cancer diagnosis with a PSA of 7,096.

The organization's core product is a WordPress-hosted educational website at yourprostatecancer.help that distributes free articles, videos, blog content, and information about an annual in-person patient/caregiver conference series. The technology stack is deliberately low-cost: a standard WordPress site, organic social channels (Facebook, LinkedIn), and an email newsletter subscription flow — all oriented to zero-cost, self-serve content consumption by patients and caregivers. Between 2017 and 2025, the organization co-hosted nine free conferences with PCaI (Prostate Cancer Investigators) and Cancer ABCs, with the next event scheduled for November 14, 2026 in The Villages, FL. A Medical Advisory Board comprising nationally recognized specialists in medical oncology, radiation oncology, diagnostic radiology, and oncology nursing provides clinical credibility.

The business model is a donation-funded 501(c)(3) nonprofit. All content, programs, and conferences are provided at no charge; revenue is sourced from tax-deductible contributions accepted via Zelle ([email protected]), mailed checks, and PayPal. Operations are founder-led and lean — three named staff (CEO/Founder, Policy Representative, Social Media Specialist) supported by an unpaid Board of Directors — with no disclosed external funding rounds, institutional investors, corporate sponsors, or pharmaceutical grants. Strategic depth is instead built through coalition memberships in ASCO, PCCTC, Moffitt Cancer Center, American Cancer Society PC Roundtable, SNMMI, CUP, PCIA, and the PCaI/Cancer ABCs conference co-hosts, which collectively extend the organization's reach into clinical guideline development, clinical trial referrals, and community cancer-center programming.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Malecare: Men's cancer support nonprofit with a strong prostate cancer program focused on patient support, education, and survivor communities. Comparable patient-advocacy mission in the prostate cancer niche with similar grassroots delivery model.
• ZERO Prostate Cancer: Largest US nonprofit dedicated to prostate cancer patient education, advocacy, and research funding. Directly comparable mission (patient education and advocacy in prostate cancer) but at significantly larger scale with national chapters, staffed fundraising, and major corporate sponsors.
• Patient Advocate Foundation: National nonprofit providing case-management and advocacy support to patients navigating the healthcare system. Comparable 'help patients work the medical system' value proposition, though serving a broader patient population beyond oncology.
• Us TOO International: Prostate cancer patient support and education nonprofit offering support groups, educational resources, and patient/caregiver community programs. Closely comparable grassroots patient-education and peer-support model.
• Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF): Major prostate cancer-focused nonprofit funding research and providing patient education resources. Comparable disease focus and educational content mission, though PCF's emphasis is heavier on research funding rather than grassroots patient/caregiver conferences.

Others

• National Cancer Institute: US government primary agency for cancer research and patient information. YPC.help's educational content competes for attention with NCI's authoritative patient information, but NCI is an enabler/referral source rather than a fundraising competitor.

Broad incumbents

• American Cancer Society: Largest US cancer nonprofit providing patient education, support programs, research funding, and advocacy across all cancer types. YPC.help is an affiliate member of the ACS Prostate Cancer Roundtable, evidencing direct ecosystem overlap.
• CancerCare: Established national nonprofit offering free professional support services, education, and financial assistance to people affected by cancer. Overlapping patient-education and caregiver-support mission at much larger scale and with a broader oncology footprint.
