What Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards does
Mission
To provide programs and services that assist member chiropractic licensing boards in fulfilling their statutory obligations to regulate the profession in the interest of public protection.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
Annual conference: to position member boards to deal with the pressing legal issues related to licensing and the protection of the public. Speakers are recruited from federal and state government, as well as from other licensed professions. This is also the setting for the annual business meeting. Bylaws, committee reports, model documents, and other helpful resources are adopted at the annual business meeting. This furthers fclb's exempt purposes by educating boards in the cutting edge issues in public protection allowing these government agencies to be proactive by establishing appropriate regulatory language, policies, and framework. Combining resources makes economic sense and ensures a more uniform approach which benefits both boards and the general public.

Pace serves our member boards by reducing onerous paperwork and review processes in assessing applications from quality providers of continuing education, provides reliable reports on fulfillment of relicensure requirements, and helps boards replace random audits with targeted audits of d.c.'s for continuing education compliance.

The purpose continues to be to position member boards to deal with the pressing legal issues relating to licensing and the protection of the public. No elections or other voting matters take place at these meetings. This furthers fclb's exempt purpose by educating boards in the cutting edge issues in public protection allowing these governments to be proactive by establishing regulatory language, policies, and framework.

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 2019 to 2020, from $1.9M to $2.4M (+25%).
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: 2020 7% · 2021 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 2 funders, grant income rose $16 → $9k.
1 of 2 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 1% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
Left out of every figure on this page: $5.7M from one payer (the payer shares this organization's board, largest National Board of Chiropractic Examiners). These are real filings, and they are not money FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC LICENSING BOARDS raised.
From the IRS filings of FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC LICENSING BOARDS’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
FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC LICENSING BOARDS leans on a few funders — its largest provides 99% 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 FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC LICENSING BOARDS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 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 FEDERATION OF CHIROPRACTIC LICENSING BOARDS's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $59 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.
