What Adira Foundation does
Mission
To invest in better lives for people with neurodegenerative diseases, in adira's early years, we will focus principally, though not exclusively, on five neurodegenerative diseases: als, alzheimer's and related dementias, huntington's disease, multiple sclerosis, and parkinson's disease. At adira we accelerate the design and funding of better, more integrated help for people who need it now. We assemble a handful of diseases that struggle with many of the same big things. We take them out of isolation where they're defined not by their diagnosis but by their struggle. From a bird's-eye view, we see the common themes and trends. We speak with people going through this journey to design better programs with them, not just for them. Then we fund those bigger, common problems with which they say they need the most help. Some examples of our work to date focus on caregiving, navigation of different services, disability, equity, measurements for quality of life, and mental health.
As stated on its FY2023 Form 990-EZ.
Program
ADIRA FINANCED GRANTS TO QUALIFIED NON-PROFITS TO INVEST IN BETTER LIVES FOR PEOPLE WITH NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES, STARTING WITH FIVE COMMUNITIES: ALS, ALZHEIMERS AND RELATED DEMENTIAS, HUNTINGTONS, MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, AND PARKINSONS. In 2022, we implemented a third round of competitive grantmaking on three key topics: simplifying clinical research, preparing for financial threats, and helping people thrive again. Total grants paid for 2022 were $281,521. We managed this in addition to monitoring our ongoing grant activities from previous years. Finally, we piloted a series of three neurodegenerative disease (ND) congress events bringing those with lived expertise in conversation with career experts to design new grants together. Unfortunately, due to a lack of financing momentum, we were forced to enter dissolution at the end of the 2022.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $143k to $2.9M (+1945%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2021 12%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base narrowed from 2 funders to 1 funder, grant income fell $10k → $27.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 30% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of ADIRA FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
ADIRA FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 45% of grant income and the top three 95%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
51% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund ADIRA FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 53% · 2022 95% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
ADIRA FOUNDATION draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Virginia, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $10k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
