What Texas Liver Foundation does
Mission
The Texas Liver Foundation is a nonprofit, independent organization committed to improving the health of liver patients in Texas through: educating patients, advocating for and supporting the liver community, providing accurate and relevant resources for patients. Our stated mission is to inform Texans about liver health and liver disease, and to improve their quality of life and outcomes through education, advocacy and partnership.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Programs
Public Education & Outreach Educating and supporting Texans about liver health and liver disease is core to our mission. In 2025 we met with hundreds of Texans across the state to share life-saving information about liver health, disease prevention, and early signs to watch for. * We attended 5 health fairs and visited a number of schools. At each health fair, we distributed educational coloring books related to liver health and information on nutrition and liver health. * We participated in a panel discussion with Salud America and UT Health San Antonio on the importance of patient advocacy and living liver donation and launched a virtual support group for living liver donors. We also reinstituted Doc Talks, a virtual panel series, with a session entitled Living Liver Donation 101: What to Expect, What to Ask, and What No One Tells You. * We started a transplant recipient virtual support group and a support group for liver disease caregivers. * Nearly 100 people received free access to liver scans that in some cases identified liver issues to address with their physicians. For these, we partnered with Pinnacle Research, who provided the fibroscans. * We delivered hope, comfort,…

The goal is to use the poster as a conversation started about the linkage between a high sugar diet and chronic disease, including liver disease, in children. * In partnership with BARE, Inc, we have an early detection program and distributed 222 Early Detection Tool Packets to every newborn nursery in Texas to encourage providers to screen infants for cholestatic liver disease and understand when to refer to a specialist.

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 2021 to 2022, from $56k to $176k (+212%).
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.
92% of TEXAS LIVER FOUNDATION’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2021 → 2023: the base held at 4 funders, grant income rose $29k → $64k.
4 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 81% 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 TEXAS LIVER FOUNDATION’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
TEXAS LIVER FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 52% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
98% 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 TEXAS LIVER FOUNDATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2021 43% · 2022 78% · 2023 60% — growing more concentrated.
“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.
Where its funders are
81% of TEXAS LIVER FOUNDATION'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. Of the $51k that is directly attributable, 100% of it comes from Texas funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $210k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
