What CLIC Foundation does
Mission
The CLIC Foundation was formed to advance childhood cancer research, namely through providing resources to the Childhood Cancer and Leukemia International Consortium (CLIC). CLIC is a group of international researchers who study the role of environmental, genetic, and other risk factors in causing childhood cancers. Specifically, the CLIC Foundation will support CLIC by: 1)facilitating inter-disciplinary, collaborative scientific meetings; 2)developing the infrastructure needed for data pooling and analysis operations; and 3) promoting and enabling dissemination of results.

Program
Our activities in 2023 were directed toward the CLIC Genomics Project, the CLIC Scientific Annual Meeting, and a Fundraising campaign CLICsgiving. Our accomplishments were as follows:1.We continued to passively obtain donations from individuals via the CLIC/CLIC Foundation website.2.We have an ongoing grant from the National Cancer Institute and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for pooling and analyzing existing genomic and non-genomic data for childhood leukemias from CLIC studies and publicly available data sources This is called the CLIC Genomics Project. https://www.clic.ngo/introducing-the-clic-genomics-project/ 3.We held the CLIC Scientific Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington, USA from October 9-11, 2023.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 $217k to $0 (−100%).
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.
45% of CLIC Foundation’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

Who funds it, year by year
2020 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $250k → $11.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% 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 CLIC Foundation’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
CLIC Foundation leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% 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
100% 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 CLIC Foundation.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — 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.
Where its funders are
100% of CLIC Foundation's grant income comes from Minnesota funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $21 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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
CLIC Foundation's revenue fell 100% between 2021 and 2024.
