What Limb Preservation Foundation does
Mission
Providing support and community for those experiencing life and limb threatening conditions.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Patient financial assistance, the flagship program of the Limb Preservation Foundation, provides emergency relief to individuals at risk of limb loss as a result of tumor, trauma, or infection. The patient assistance committee, a group of volunteers tasked with allocating the funds, prioritizes funding that will keep the patient in their home. Through the course of 2024, we served 38 unique patients and distributed 133,718 in financial assistance funds. Over 75% of funds are allocated to rent and mortgage payments to keep people in their homes with additional support being provided for utilities, lodging, insurance, and car payments. ---------------- see schedule o for more detail ------------------
$364,032 spentof which $136,243 as grants80% of program spendingThe Limb Preservation Foundation offers one-on-one, peer-to-peer support to the community of patients undergoing limb treatment due to tumor, trauma or infection. Our peer support program complements and enhances medical care by creating the emotional, social, and practical assistance necessary for managing a limb-risk situation and moving toward wellness. The lpf limb-risk care package program provides patients recovering from serious limb procedures with a beautiful handmade quilt as well as a care bag with basic care items. The purpose of this program is to lift the spirits of recovering patients experiencing extended periods of bedrest or restricted activity and to help patients feel supported and less alone during a challenging time.

Along with education, resources and practical tips, the event facilitates a setting for community members to network and connect. We were able to provide financial subsidies for approximately 25 individuals in the limb community to attend our symposium in 2024.

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 $665k to $1.3M (+96%).
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: 2021 7% · 2022 3%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
94% of LIMB PRESERVATION FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 5 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

Leadership and staff
The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.
Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 10 funders, grant income fell $159k → $105k.
7 of 27 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 31% 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
LIMB PRESERVATION FOUNDATION has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 20% 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
83% 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 LIMB PRESERVATION FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 48% · 2018 56% · 2019 76% · 2020 56% · 2021 29% · 2022 23% · 2023 29% — diversifying over time.
“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
38% of LIMB PRESERVATION FOUNDATION's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 52% 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
80% of LIMB PRESERVATION FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Colorado funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $418k 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.
