Improving the measurement and management of LDL-C requires a multi-factor approach executed by leading patients, providers, public health, payers, and industry organizations. The National Forum convened leading organizations to discuss existing trends in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, non-adherence to lipid-lowering therapy, inconsistent monitoring of LDL-C, and quality measures for measurement and management of hypercholesterolemia.

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 2020 to 2021, from $876k to $2.1M (+144%).
How it's funded, over time

Government-grant reliance: 2021 5%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.

From the IRS filings of National Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% 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 Forum for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% · 2022 100% · 2023 100% — broadly stable.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $106 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state 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.
