What College Diabetes Network Inc does
Mission
The diabetes link's mission is to empower young adults with diabetes by providing access to the peer support, connections, and expert resources they need to thrive. We are the only national organization exclusively focused on the needs of 770k+ young adults with diabetes.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Resource hub:our online resource hub offers 367 free educational resources and toolkits on topics often overlooked in clinical care, designed in formats young adults understand. In 2024, we partnered with clinical content creators to improve quality and inclusivity. The most accessed topics were off to college, accommodations & advocacy, and partying with diabetes. The hub totaled over 24 days of engagement time through the year. We also advanced research studies with university of washington and university hospitals to test the efficacy of several of our resources.

Incentives for chapter leaders drove engagement from more than 1,400 members, resulting in 90 recorded activities. Across all channels, our social media following surpassed 26,000.

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 $2.2M to $2.6M (+20%).
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 9% · 2022 17%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of COLLEGE DIABETES NETWORK INC’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $10k → $130k.
7 of 15 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

How concentrated its funding is
COLLEGE DIABETES NETWORK INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 57% of grant income and the top three 85%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% 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 COLLEGE DIABETES NETWORK INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 75% · 2020 35% · 2021 97% · 2022 65% · 2023 77% — 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
22% of COLLEGE DIABETES NETWORK INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 47% 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
COLLEGE DIABETES NETWORK INC draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $208k 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. 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.
