What Lupus Foundation of America Georgia Chapter Inc does
Mission
The lupus foundation of america is the foremost national nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services, and hope to all people affected by lupus. The georgia chapter's programs are the only statewide valuable resource for thousands of patients and families providing support and information, physician referrals, public and professional education and grass-roots advocacy
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Program
As the only statewide valuable resource for the 55,000 georgians with lupus, the georgia chapter provides thousands with free, valuable educational information, physician referrals, resources, support groups and educational programs reaching patients in 120 of the 159 counties in georgia. Ninety percent of every dollar donated stays in georgia to support our programs. The chapter also supports the national research efforts of the lupus foundation of america, working to advance the science and medicine of lupus to bring down the barriers that have impeded progress in lupus research. Despite its prevalence, lupus remains one of the least recognizable and most misunderstood diseases in both the medical and lay communities. There is no known cause, no cure, and the incidence has increased hugely in the past 20 years. Current treatments are often very toxic, the side effects often rivaling the symptoms of the disease. We reach out to our lupus constituents and their families with our year round chapter programs and events and in a variety of ways, from direct mail to online emails blasts, website updates and information placement in doctors' offices: over 39,000 visitors to our website…

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.
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 $612k to $1.4M (+132%).
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 15% · 2023 24% · 2024 7%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
40% 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.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $95k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
