What Kdm5c Kares Foundation Inc does
Mission
Our mission is to improve the lives of those affected by KDM5C-related disorders through advocacy, research, education, & support for affected individuals and families.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Kares Foundation awarded $60,000 in research grants during 2025 to two academic institutions. One of the grants for $20,000 was awarded to Dr. Weksberg's lab at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada to continue the DNA methylation biomarker study to better define variants of uncertain significance in KDM5C. Also, during 2025, $40,000 was awarded to Dr. Biggar's lab at Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada to carry out a study to examine the biochemical and functional properties of missense variants in KDM5C.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 $121k to $191k (+58%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
2 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 43% 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 KDM5C KARES 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.
How concentrated its funding is
KDM5C KARES FOUNDATION INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 41% of grant income and the top three 92%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
43% 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 KDM5C KARES FOUNDATION INC.
“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
KDM5C KARES FOUNDATION INC draws 100% of its grant income from funders outside Illinois, across 2 states in all.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6k 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.
