What Beyond The Burn Foundation does
Mission
The mission of Beyond the Burn Foundation is to support burn survivors and empower communities through direct relief, strategic investments in burn care research, and partnerships that improve outcomes for those affected by burn trauma.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
On its FY2025 return the organization reported starting a significant new program and a significant change in how it conducts a program.
Strategic Partnerships: Beyond the Burn Foundation collaborates with leading medical institutions and trusted national organizations to strengthen the continuum of burn care and survivor support. Through partnerships with centers such as UT Southwestern and Parkland Hospital, we help advance treatment, improve patient resources, and support innovation in care delivery. In addition, our partnership with the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors expands access to peer support, mental health resources, and community-based programming that address the long-term emotional and psychological impact of burn trauma. By aligning with organizations that specialize in complementary areas of care, we ensure survivors receive comprehensive supportfrom acute treatment through lifelong healingbeyond the burn.

Task Force Program: Beyond the Burn Foundation maintains a national network of firefighters who serve as trusted advocates and on-the-ground partners within their communities. This Task Force acts as our eyes and ears across the country, helping identify burn survivors in need of support and enabling rapid response when injuries occur. In addition to connecting survivors to resources, Task Force members play a key role in raising awareness and supporting grassroots fundraising efforts that extend the Foundations reach. This network ensures we remain closely connected to the communities we serve while delivering timely and meaningful support to those impacted by burn trauma.

Medical Fellowship Program: Beyond the Burn Foundation invests in the future of burn care by funding advanced medical fellowships at leading institutions, including UT Southwestern and Parkland Hospital. These fellowships help address the national shortage of specialized burn trauma surgeons by training physicians in complex burn treatment, trauma surgery, surgical critical care, and survivor-centered recovery. Fellows also advance research and clinical innovation that improve outcomes for patients beyond the operating room. By strengthening the pipeline of highly trained burn specialists, this program expands access to expert care for burn survivors in North Texas and across the country.

Support includes funding for essential medical supplies such as compression garments, scar management treatments, and other recovery-related expenses, as well as assistance with the financial burdens that often accompany long-term healing. By addressing both practical and ongoing needs after hospital discharge, this program ensures survivors have the resources and stability needed to continue their recovery and rebuild their quality of life beyond the burn.

The 4 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense. Program spending in total: $299,100.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2023 to 2024, from $810k to $271k (−67%).
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: 2022 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
149% of Beyond The Burn Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 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 broadened from 2 funders to 3 funders, grant income fell $104k → $5k.
10 of 22 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 26% 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 Beyond The Burn Foundation’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 21 of 22 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
Beyond The Burn Foundation has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 36% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
46% 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 Beyond The Burn Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 96% · 2018 75% · 2019 98% · 2020 73% · 2021 44% · 2022 54% · 2023 95% — 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.
How long its funders stay
17% of Beyond The Burn Foundation's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 27% 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
Beyond The Burn Foundation draws 85% of its grant income from funders outside Texas, across 6 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $204k arriving through sponsors registered in 9 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.
Against its field
Beyond The Burn Foundation's revenue fell 62% between 2018 and 2025.
