What California Dental Association does
Mission
The California Dental Association is committed to the success of our members in service to their patients and the public.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Cda presents the art and science of dentistry - professional trade shows. This includes assocation members and dental professionals. Continuing education credit, specialized seminars, and professional services are available for attendees.
Integrated membership communications via website, email, physical mail and social channels. Mass communication on significant oral health topics. Monthly publication: the journal of the California Dental Association, a scientific peer-reviewed journal that is electronically distributed to approximately 15,000 members each month.
Advocacy - cda responds to and anticipates the top issues facing the dental profession by taking positions on issues from abuse detection and reporting to health-care reform, licensing and third-party payment.

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 2021 to 2022, from $252M to $228M (−10%).
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.
0% of CALIFORNIA DENTAL ASSOCIATION’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 7 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.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 CALIFORNIA DENTAL ASSOCIATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 95% · 2019 88% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
