Eczema research we doNEAs research team seeks to understand the unique experiences of people with eczema. In 2023, we launched a survey to learn about the burden and unmet needs for types of eczema other than atopic dermatitis. It is our hope that this new data will lead to better care and support.Eczema Expo 2023 in Orlando, FL Eczema Expo is our annual conference and our favorite weekend of the year! We welcomed more than 350 community members to Expo in June 2023. They learned from world-class experts, physicians and researchers about the latest in eczema research and drug development. They also bonded over shared stories and created a community of support and connection. Survey results showed that 88% of attendees felt more connected to the eczema community. Were excited about Eczema Expo in Denver, CO, from June 2730, 2024.Seal of Acceptance adds two new categoriesNEAs Seal of Acceptance is an emblem that certifies that a product has undergone rigorous testing and scientific review where its ingredients and formulation data meet Seal standards for sensitivity, irritation and toxicity.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 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 2020 to 2021, from $7.6M to $9.8M (+29%).
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.
53% of National Eczema Association’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (78% for the typical peer).

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 4 funders to 11 funders, grant income rose $63k → $123k.
13 of 26 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 38% 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 National Eczema Association’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
National Eczema Association has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 22% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
59% 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 National Eczema Association.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 79% · 2018 76% · 2019 73% · 2020 78% · 2021 82% · 2022 28% · 2023 41% — 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
50% of National Eczema Association's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 46% 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
National Eczema Association draws 99% of its grant income from funders outside California, across 7 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $255k arriving through sponsors registered in 11 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.
