What Ihrsa Foundation does
Mission
The health & fitness association foundation (hfa foundation) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization with a goal to elevate the importance of physical activity and its impact on individual and community health. Founded in 2012 to promote health through exercise, the hfa foundation has evolved to be a catalyst for change in how the health and fitness industry serves local communities. The hfa foundation connects member facilities with their local communities, fostering engagement through research, scholarship and philanthropy.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Hfa foundation hall of fame: on march 11, 2025, hfa and the Ihrsa Foundation honored the first class of six trailblazers who have revolutionized the health and fitness industry. The inaugural hall of fame ceremony was held as a precursor to the hfa show 2025. It raised $33,000 for the Ihrsa Foundation, a 501(c)3 public charity that works to support health through exercise.

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 $60k to $1k (−98%).
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.
100% of IHRSA FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (87% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $12k → $29.
2 of 4 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 36% 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
IHRSA FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders 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 IHRSA FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 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
IHRSA FOUNDATION draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Massachusetts, across 2 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
Against its field
IHRSA FOUNDATION has grown faster than three-quarters of the 4,237 philanthropy nonprofits its size.
