What Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine does
Mission
The sanford consortium is a collaboration among five preeminent life science research institutions formed to enable renowned scientists with expertise in stem cell and regenerative medicine research to collaborate to seek transformative discoveries and breakthrough medical advances.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Program
In 2025, scientists from the sanford consortium's five member institutions - la jolla institute for allergy and immunology, salk institute for biological studies, sanford burnham prebys medical discovery institute, scripps research, and the university of california, san diego - continued research into harnessing the regenerative powers of stem cells to discover treatments and cures for many of the world's most challenging diseases, including alzheimer's disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, parkinson's disease, and spinal cord injuries. Published research by consortium scientists advanced the base of knowledge available to the international community of stem cell researchers.

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 $91M to $87M (−4%).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% 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 SANFORD CONSORTIUM FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE’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.
Where its funders are
100% of SANFORD CONSORTIUM FOR REGENERATIVE MEDICINE's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $5 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. 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.
