What Chan Zuckerberg Biohub Inc does
Mission
Accelerating science through its mission to cure, prevent or manage all diseases by the end of the 21st century.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
On its FY2023 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
The chan zuckerberg institute for advanced biological imaging aims to push forward the development and application of new imaging technologies over the next 10 to 15 years to obtain deep insights into the architecture of complex biological systems at the molecular level. The cz imaging institute will create breakthrough technologies hardware, software, biological probes, data, and platforms that will be made available to the scientific community and adopted worldwide through a combination of direct access to the institute, open sharing of advances, and commercial partnerships.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
In 2023 the chan zuckerberg biohub network (cz biohub network) continued to expand its work. In march 2023, czi announced the chan zuckerberg biohub chicago (cz biohub chicago) which catalyzes collaboration between the university of chicago, northwestern university, and the university of illinois urbana-champaign to develop new technologies for studying and measuring human biology that will use embedded sensors and probes to collect biological signals from human tissues with unprecedented resolution. Czi announced the chan zuckerberg biohub new york in october 2023, which brings together columbia university, the rockefeller university, and yale university to create new technologies to characterize and bioengineer immune cells with the ultimate goal of creating disease-specific "cellular endoscopes" that can detect early stages of disease in cells, monitor cell changes, and resolve diseases before they become untreatable. Also in 2023, cz biohub chicago held a launch event with representatives from the university of chicago, northwestern university, and the university of illinois urbana-champaign, as well as civic leaders. Towards cz biohub chicago's work to create new technologies…

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 2022 to 2023, from $271M to $1.5B (+446%).
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: 2024 13%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
93% of CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (7% 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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2022: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $2.0M → $6.5M.
2 of 3 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 56% 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: $383M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Foundation). These are real filings, and they are not money CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC raised.
From the IRS filings of CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). 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
CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 56% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
56% 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 CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 78% · 2021 62% · 2022 69% — 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.
Where its funders are
56% of CHAN ZUCKERBERG BIOHUB INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Of the $10M that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $13M arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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
