What Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation Inc does
Mission
To help find the cure for diabetes, and until that goal is achieved, to provide the care and self-management skills needed to combat the life-threatening complications of diabetes, and to promote public education about the causes, prevention and treatment of the disease.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Global outreach assistance - the foundation works closely with the worldwide diabetes wellness network that consists of: the diabetes research and wellness foundation, inc. (us), diabetes research & wellness foundation (uk), diabetes research & wellness foundation (sw), the association pour la diabete (fr), diabetes research & wellness foundation (fi), diabetes research & wellness foundation (nw). While all of the members of the network are separate organizations working for the benefit of people within their specific countries and throughout the world, we share the same goals and don't lose sight of the bigger picture - diabetes knows no borders - enabling us to take advantage of our international dimension for the benefit of the charity and our beneficiaries. The network was established to convey a unified message that supports the foundation's mission and to capitalize on economies of scale in producing materials.

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 $1.1M to $249k (−78%).
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 2%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
36% of DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as 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 8 reported years ran a deficit.

5 of 17 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 5% 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 DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION 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.

DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 86% of grant income and the top three 96%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
90% 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 DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 90% · 2018 94% · 2019 83% · 2020 80% · 2021 83% · 2022 99% · 2023 83% — 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
44% of DIABETES RESEARCH AND WELLNESS FOUNDATION INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 59% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $32k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
