What Huntington Medical Research Institutes does
Mission
Hmri advances scientific discovery through innovative biomedical research to improve health outcomes and inspire the next generation of scientists.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
Hmri's research programs are focused on common disease processes including neurologic (alzheimer's-migraine), cardiovascular, liver and gastrointestinal, and magnetic resonance imaging that supports research across hmri. In 2024/2025 hmri researchers published papers in peer reviewed journals, served on editorial boards and science advisory boards, and presented their work at conferences. The major service accomplishments of the year were the ongoing seminar series open to the public covering a wide range of timely medical and research topics, and ongoing enrollment of study participants in our study of brain aging.

The program described on its FY2024 Form 990. Program spending in total: $8,795,185.
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 2021 to 2022, from $82M to $70M (−15%).
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: 2017 15% · 2018 19% · 2019 23% · 2020 21% · 2021 22% · 2022 32% · 2023 40% · 2024 25% · 2025 47%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
71% of HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (51% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 13 funders to 18 funders, grant income rose $457k → $1.8M.
8 of 47 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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: $1.2M from 3 payers (the payer shares this organization's board, largest Pasadena Hospital Association Ltd). These are real filings, and they are not money HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES raised.
From the IRS filings of HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 47 funders by total. 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
HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 26% of grant income, and it takes 3 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 3 funders to its left
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 47% · 2018 54% · 2019 15% · 2020 76% · 2021 18% · 2022 25% · 2023 56% — 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
50% of HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 70% 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
59% of HUNTINGTON MEDICAL RESEARCH INSTITUTES's grant income comes from California funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $612k arriving through sponsors registered in 6 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.
