What Children's Diabetes Foundation does
Mission
To raise funds to support the barbara davis center for childhood diabetes, where thousands of patients of all ages from all over the world receive the finest diabetes care available.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Research and clinical care, support from the foundation and the guild provides essential funding for research into the pathogenesis and prevention of type I diabetes by university of colorado faculty at the barbara davis center. The long-term support by the foundation has led to the development of an artificial pancreas system, breakthrough stem cell research, studies involving the relation of type I diabetes to other autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease, and development of a program to test the probability of a child developing diabetes.

Monthly support groups provide an outlet to connect individuals and families impacted by diabetes. Support from the foundation allows the center to provide care and diabetes supplies at no cost to over 30% of its patient and clinical conferences annually to provide education on how to treat, care for, and support patients with diabetes. The foundation also publishes materials to help educate patients and their families in managing diabetes.

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 2024 to 2025, from $11M to $15M (+28%).
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: 2021 4% · 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
78% of CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 4 of the last 9 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 24 funders to 35 funders, grant income rose $563k → $798k.
20 of 116 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 44% 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 CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 116 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
CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 13% of grant income, and it takes 11 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 11 funders to its left
50% 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 CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 44% · 2018 19% · 2019 13% · 2020 18% · 2021 23% · 2022 15% · 2023 13% — 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.
How long its funders stay
23% of CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 55% 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
CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION draws 70% of its grant income from funders outside Colorado, across 20 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 12 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
CHILDREN'S DIABETES FOUNDATION runs a healthier operating margin than three-quarters of the 5,002 health nonprofits its size.
