What Society for Disability Studies does
Mission
The Society for Disability Studies (sds) is a non-profit organization that promotes the study of disability in social, cultural, and political contexts. Disability studies recognize that disability is a key aspect of human experience. The study of disability has important political, social, and economic implications for society as a whole, including both disabled and non-disabled people. Through research, artistic production, teaching, and activism, the Society for Disability Studies seeks to augment understanding of disability in all cultures and historical periods, promote greater awareness of the experiences of disabled people, and to advocate for social change.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2021, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2021, 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 2023 to 2024, from $56k to $25k (−55%).
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.
5% of SOCIETY FOR DISABILITY STUDIES’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (100% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 3 of the last 5 reported years ran a deficit.
