Programs
The university provided health science education services to an enrollment of 1,534 students during the fiscal year ended 6/30/25. The university comprises three colleges offering ten graduate degree programs and additional education opportunities promoting a collective strength: a collaborative campus community where students and faculty come together in pursuit of knowledge and innovation. All programs share a singular mission: to develop distinctive health professionals committed to health promotion, discovery of knowledge, and service to the community. The university provides students with the knowledge and skills needed to become health care professionals dedicated to maintaining and restoring the health of their patients. Classroom instruction and clinical training, which is organized on a national level and at the university's clinic, are presented in an atmosphere where humanitarian concerns, scholarly activity and health care delivery support the primary purpose of teaching and learning.

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 2020 to 2021, from $234M to $450M (+92%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 9 funders to 10 funders, grant income rose $104k → $322k.
12 of 30 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 58% 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 DES MOINES UNIVERSITY OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL CENTER’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.

DES MOINES UNIVERSITY OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL CENTER leans on a few funders — its largest provides 32% of grant income and the top three 61%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
98% 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 DES MOINES UNIVERSITY OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL CENTER.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 19% · 2018 66% · 2019 35% · 2020 47% · 2021 20% · 2022 80% · 2023 33% — growing more concentrated.
“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
18% of DES MOINES UNIVERSITY OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL CENTER's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 43% 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
58% of DES MOINES UNIVERSITY OSTEOPATHIC MEDICAL CENTER'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 $1.4M that is directly attributable, 58% of it comes from Iowa funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $2.0M arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
