Programs
Scientific publications - the ama published the journal of the American Medical Association, jama network open, and 11 specialty journals. These journals are distributed worldwide to individual recipients in print and to more than 2,980 institutions through online access. The journals included definitive, peer reviewed clinical and investigative reports spanning major medical disciplines to support informed clinical decision-making and to enable physicians to remain current professionally.

Predominant areas of focus are seeking medicare payment reform; eliminating practice barriers; promoting physician-led team-based care; increasing physician wellness; reducing health care disparities; and advocating for public health measures.
The ama is responsible for the development and sales of medical information books and digital content designed to meet the needs of members, potential members, consumers, and others.

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.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $1.2B to $1.4B (+17%).
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: 2018 0% · 2019 0% · 2020 0% · 2021 0% · 2022 1% · 2023 1% · 2024 0%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
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 narrowed from 3 funders to 2 funders, grant income rose $118k → $383k.
1 of 11 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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: $23k from 2 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine). These are real filings, and they are not money AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION raised.
From the IRS filings of AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 9 of 11 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 MEDICAL ASSOCIATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 76% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 68% · 2018 80% · 2019 70% · 2020 100% · 2021 98% · 2022 93% · 2023 100% — 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
0% of AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 45% 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 MEDICAL ASSOCIATION draws 98% of its grant income from funders outside Illinois, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. 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.
