The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
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: 2017 7% · 2018 7% · 2019 6% · 2020 6% · 2021 6% · 2022 5% · 2023 7% · 2024 7% · 2025 8%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
97% of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 729 funders to 1525 funders, grant income rose $15M → $63M.
294 of 4149 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 55% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $22M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Coalition of New York State Alzheimers Association Chapters Inc). These are real filings, and they are not money ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC raised.
From the IRS filings of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 4149 funders by total. 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.

ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 9% of grant income, and it takes 12 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 12 funders to its left
73% 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 ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 10% · 2018 20% · 2019 13% · 2020 17% · 2021 20% · 2022 14% · 2023 12% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
How long its funders stay
54% of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
56% of ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE & RELATED DISORDERS ASSOCIATION INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $170M that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from funders outside Illinois, across 49 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $212M arriving through sponsors registered in 47 statesis 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.
