Programs
On its FY2024 return the organization reported starting a significant new program.
During the year ended may 31, 2025, the foundation began serving as a fiscal sponsor for massachusetts medical society (mms), its supported 501(c)(6) organization, under pre-approved grant relationships. Through this program, the foundation receives and administers grant funds from third-party grantors and disburses them for mission-related projects conducted by mms. This activity is consistent with the foundation's charitable and educational purposes and represents a new program service distinct from prior grantmaking activities.
Its own explanation, from Schedule O of that return (Part III, line 2).
Fiscal sponsorshipsthe foundation acts as fiscal sponsor for the massachusetts medical society (mms) under pre-approved grant relationships. Mms is the foundation's 501(c)(6) supported organization (see schedule a). Under these agreements, the foundation receives and administers restricted grant funds from grantors for charitable and educational projects. The organization monitors project budgets, ensures grant compliance, and disburses funds to the supported organization for eligible expenses.in fy25, 2 fiscal sponsorship grants were received. The grants are intended to create, curate, and/or enhance nejm online for the purpose of preventing disease and improving public health. Fiscal sponsorship revenues in the current year reflect grant funds received for multi-year projects. Because many of the related sponsored activities and reimbursements will occur in subsequent years, current-year expenses are lower than revenues.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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 2024 to 2025, from $3.1M to $4.5M (+45%).
How it's funded, over time
