Mission

To empower all people affected by adhd through evidence-based resources and education, unparalleled support, community connections, and steadfast advocacy.

Programs

  1. Public education and outreach: chadd provides a broad range of information on the diagnostic, treatment and management of adhd in both adults and children. Our goal is to provide usable information for the general public which is based on the latest scientific research and state of the art treatment guidelines. We provide this information through many mediums including print media, online education, chapter presentations, chadd's website, trainings, conferences, and press media.

  2. Membership and chapter services: in addition to evidence-based information, anyone dealing with a diagnosis of adhd in the community needs support from others who share the same concerns. Chadd's membership and chapters provide a community of people who share these concerns and are available to support one another.

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.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 4 funders to 16 funders, grant income rose $19k → $83k.

8 of 39 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 61% 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 CHADD INC CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 39 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.

64% 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 CHADD INC CHILDREN AND ADULTS WITH ATTENTION DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER.

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $302k arriving through sponsors registered in 7 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.
