What The Food Addiction Institute Inc does
Mission
The food addiction institute, founded in 2005, is a global, independent nonprofit organization whose vision is to mitigate food addiction and encourage its treatment in the world. We support the recovery of those who experience food addiction to recover, and help the caregivers who work on their behalf by identifying and providing perspective and resources. To accomplish our mission, the institute works toward the following: fostering the inclusion of food addiction as a substance use disorder in the diagnostic manuals of the world health organization and the american psychiatric association. Educating physicans, dietitians, nutritionists, therapists, counselors, and allied health professionals that food addiction is a treatable disorder. Advocating widespread acceptance of food addiction in society and promoting effective abstinence-based solutions. Providing a global forum to develop and distribute innovative and effective public health strategies for current and future.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990-EZ.
Program
Compiled and catalogued over 800 peer reviewed scientific articles to support a submission to the american psychiatric association for consideration in favor of an effort to have food addiction accepted as a medical diagnosis in the next revision of the diagnostic and statistical manual (dsm). Provided a public online forum for the general public and treatment professionals to educate both about food addiction and effective treatments. Provided a writing grant to finance the writing and publishing of a book on the aspect of denial in food addiction. Created a public service information in the form of social media posts, website content, video content and podcasts to raise public awareness.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 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 2024 to 2025, from $71k to $70k (−1%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 1 funder, grant income fell $7k → $27.
2 of 2 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 THE FOOD ADDICTION INSTITUTE INC’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
THE FOOD ADDICTION INSTITUTE INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 100% of grant income and the top three 100%; half comes from just 1 funder.
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 THE FOOD ADDICTION INSTITUTE INC.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 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. 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 THE FOOD ADDICTION INSTITUTE INC'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. $58k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 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.
