What International Foundation for Autoimmune&Autoinflammatory Arthri does
Mission
We are leaders in advancing education, advocacy, and research for those affected by autoimmune & autoinflammatory arthritis diseases through peer-led guidance, collaboration, and resources that are driven by patient-identified issues and patient-infused solutions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Projects: aiarthritis advances our mission work by taking on projects based on patient-reported issues that, if solved, could improve their lives. Decisions on whether to take on a project are based on a high percentage of patient-reported need, identification of a missing gap (avoidance of duplication of efforts), identifying and enlisting help from potential collaborators to increase impact, then securing financial help to implement action. All projects have "no blueprint", meaning they are one-of-a-kind, innovation solutions that build off of existing successes and zero in on missing gaps. Every project is led by patient voices, with professional advisors contracted, as needed.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 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 2023 to 2024, from $120k to $350k (+191%).

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 INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR AUTOIMMUNE&AUTOINFLAMMATORY ARTHRI.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2019 88% · 2020 97% · 2021 95% · 2022 95% · 2023 85% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $8k 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.
