What American Academy of Pediatrics does
Mission
The mission of the American Academy of Pediatrics is to obtain optimal physical, mental and social health for all infants, children, adolescents, and young adults. The academy seeks to promote this goal by encouraging and assisting its members in their efforts to meet the overall health needs of infants, children, adolescents and young adults, by providing support and counsel to parents and other members of the public concerned with the health, safety and well-being of infants, children, adolescents and young adults, their growth and development, and by serving as an advocate for infants, children, adolescents and young adults and their families within the community at large. The academy pledges its efforts and expertise to a fundamental goal - that all children and youth have the opportunity to grow up safe and strong, with faith in the future and in themselves.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2017 to 2018, from $137M to $161M (+18%).
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 16% · 2018 16% · 2019 17% · 2020 16% · 2021 28% · 2022 19% · 2023 22% · 2024 25% · 2025 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
35% of AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (1% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 9 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
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 20 funders to 39 funders, grant income rose $2.3M → $4.4M.
19 of 114 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 21% 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 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 114 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.
How concentrated its funding is
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 8 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 8 funders to its left
49% 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 AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 49% · 2018 39% · 2019 30% · 2020 17% · 2021 17% · 2022 17% · 2023 35% — diversifying over time.
“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
39% of AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 49% 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
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS draws 96% of its grant income from funders outside Illinois, across 28 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8.6M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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.
