| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | About the American Diabetes Association |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | The mission of the American Diabetes Association ADA, founded in 1940, is to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. This chronic disease is one of the fastest growing in the world, with 136 million Americans living with diabetes or prediabetes and a new diagnosis occurring every 26 seconds. The Obesity Association, a division of the ADA, is dedicated to reducing the prevalence of obesity and improving health outcomes. With programming focused on education, action, and evidence-based support, we strive to create a world where people affected by obesity can thrive and receive the care they deserve. In the face of these epidemics, our mission has never been clearer, and our vision of a life free of diabetes and all its burdens and to reduce the prevalence of obesity is more critical than ever before. Through advocacy, program development, and education, we aim to improve the quality of life for everyone affected by diabetes and obesity. The moving force behind the work of the ADA is a network of more than 565,000 volunteers, their families and caregivers, a professional society of nearly 12,000 health care professionals, as well as more than 350 staff members. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Fighting with GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Research is the cornerstone of advancing the ADAs mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people with diabetes. While we have made significant progress towards our mission, there is much left to discover. The ADA funds early career investigators, nurtures the next generation of scientific leaders, and supports investigator-initiated research to uncover discoveries that will advance care and treatment for people living with diabetes and eventually lead us to a cure. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Pushing Science Forward |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | In 2024, the ADA deepened our investment in diabetes research, welcomed more brilliant scientists into our sphere, and shared transformative breakthroughs with the world fostering hope for all people affected by this disease. Since 1952, ADA has invested 963M in diabetes research, and our current research portfolio includes 193 active awards and 51 new projects funded in 2024. The ADA Research Program has contributed to many important scientific advances for people living with diabetes, including Insulin therapy advances, Anti-diabetes drugs, Anti-obesity drugs, Continuous glucose monitoring, Artificial pancreas systems, Role of bacteria in our gut, Delaying type 1 diabetes onset with immunotherapy drugs, Replacing beta cells derived from stem cells. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Providing a Pathway |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | One of the foundations of the ADAs research strategy is our Pathway to Stop Diabetes Pathway program. The program seeks to identify a new generation of innovative scientists, physicians, and researchers and provide the financial support and professional mentorship they need to advance their diabetes research. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | This year, we welcomed four new Pathway researchers dedicated to preventing diabetes and helping people with diabetes thrive Ilia Droujinine, MD, PhD, The Scripps Research Institute. Dr. Droujinine will study the largely unexplored role that proteins produced by the intestine play in how organs communicate, influencing metabolism, blood glucose blood sugar levels, and inflammation. This work could contribute to new therapeutics to combat type 2 diabetes and its complications. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Rachel Goode, PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Building upon her research on eating disorders in Black adults, Dr. Goode will pilot an individually tailored program to reduce binge eating and prevent weight gain among young Black women to reduce their type 2 diabetes risk. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Daniel Seung Kim, MD, PhD, Stanford University. Dr. Kim is advancing his work with the My Heart Counts app, which found that personalized e-coaching helped people increase their step count. He will assess the effectiveness and efficacy of artificial intelligence AI generated prompts that turn smartphones into exercise coaches, which could help people with type 2 diabetes reach their physical activity, blood glucose blood sugar, and weight management goals. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | David Merrick, MD, PhD, University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Merricks research fills a gap in current obesity therapies by focusing on helping the body burn more energy, leveraging the heat generating properties of brown adipose tissue also known as brown fat. Combined with reduced calorie intake, such treatment could help people more successfully maintain long-term weight loss. Learn more about ADA supported research in our 2024 Research Report. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Scientific Sessions. The ADAs Scientific Sessions is the worlds largest diabetes meeting, where leading physicians, scientists, researchers, and health care professionals come to learn about the latest findings in diabetes research, prevention, and care. In June 2024, we hosted the hybrid 84th Scientific Sessions from Orlando, Florida with over 11,000 attendees from 116 countries. The meeting unveiled exciting advances in reducing diabetes complications such as heart disease, kidney disease, and vision loss the role of weight loss in lowering the risk of obesity related cancers and the promise of inhaled insulin for treating type 1 diabetes. The 84th Scientific Session featured over 2,000 research presentations with 2,320 published abstracts. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Setting the Standard . The ADA sets the benchmark in diabetes care through our annual Standards of Care in Diabetes Standards of Care, evidence based clinical practice guidelines for diagnosing and managing diabetes and prediabetes. Based on the latest scientific research and clinical trials, the Standards of Care enable health care professionals to provide the best possible care for people with and at risk for diabetes. The Standards of Care 2025 edition, released in December 2024, features noteworthy updates, including guidance on Continuous glucose monitor CGM use for adults with type 2 diabetes taking glucose lowering agents other than insulin. The benefits of GLP-1 receptor agonists beyond weight loss for heart and kidney health. Antibody based screening for people who have a family history or known genetic risk of type 1 diabetes but no symptoms. Using recreational cannabis for people with type 1 diabetes and others at risk for diabetic ketoacidosis DKA. Encouraging evidence based eating patterns, including plant-based diets. Screening people with diabetes for fear of hypoglycemia, diabetes distress, and anxiety. Improving the culture of quality and collaboration in health systems. Learn more at professional.diabetes.org/SOC |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Fighting with BOLD ADVOCACY |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | As the leading voice for people with diabetes and people with obesity, the ADA drives policy changes and works tirelessly to improve access to quality care and resources. We wont back down until everyone affected by diabetes has the insulin, other medication and technology they need to survive and other treatments that will help them thrive, until health access is the standard in every doctors office, and until everyone with diabetes is treated fairly in schools and the workplace. Backed by more than 500,000 Diabetes Advocates, we have a presence in every state and the halls of the U.S. Congress. The ADA is the leading force behind legislation and regulation to positively impact the lives of people living with diabetes and obesity. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Transforming Lives with Action. In 2024, we made tremendous progress in advancing policies that protect and improve the lives of all people living with diabetes and obesity. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Affordable insulin. About 7.7 million Americans rely on insulin to live but 1 in 6 report rationing their insulin to pay for other life essentials like rent, utilities, daycare, and food. In April, New York became the first state to eliminate cost sharing for insulin in state regulated health plans. By the end of 2024, 25 states, plus the District of Columbia and Medicare, capped cost sharing on insulin. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Diabetes technology. In 2024, 13 states Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin expanded access to CGMs for Medicaid beneficiaries, a decisive step toward better diabetes management. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Raising Our Voices. In March, Diabetes Advocates headed to Washington, DC, for the ADAs annual Call to Congress. Over 75 advocates had 105 meetings with lawmakers to share our stories and urge them to support legislation that could genuinely change lives. Among the issues we brought to the forefront funding federal diabetes research programs, making insulin more affordable, expanding access to evidence based obesity treatments for older adults, prevent diabetes related amputations |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Partnering with School Nurses. The ADAs Safe at School program helps to ensure students with diabetes receive the care they need so they can fully participate in the same opportunities as their peers. This year, we equipped hundreds of school nurses with resources and guidance to care for children with diabetes through attendance and provision of resources at the Maryland Association of School Health Nurses Annual Conference. We also conducted live webinars on developing written care plans, supporting students who use electronic services for diabetes management, providing diabetes care during an emergency evacuation or lockdown, and more essential topics for keeping children with diabetes safe during the school day. Learn more at diabetes.org/SafeAtSchool |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Fighting with TRUSTED EDUCATION |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | By providing comprehensive, evidence based education, the ADA empowers people to prevent and manage diabetes and equips health care professionals to deliver the best possible care. No organization does more to advance and promote knowledge that improves health and quality of life for people with diabetes and people with obesity. In 2024, we unveiled new initiatives to target the root causes of obesity and diabetes and reach people where they are most likely to seek care their primary care office. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Changing the Obesity Conversation. In June 2024, we launched the Obesity Association, a division of the ADA, Obesity Association. This new division aims to reduce the prevalence of obesity and improve health outcomes, especially in populations at higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes. In the United States, more than 40 of adults have obesity. However, societal and systemic barriers including stigma, shame, and blame can prevent people from accessing the care they need. Only 10 of people with overweight or obesity who would benefit from medical guidance seek help. All people affected by obesity, with and without diabetes, should have the opportunity to thrive under the care of knowledgeable, compassionate health care professionals. The Obesity Association will build upon the ADAs deep experience in education, advocacy, and evidence based support to face these challenges head on and chart a new path in obesity care. In September 2024, the ADA and the Obesity Action Coalition hosted the National Obesity Policy Forum, convening more than 80 health leaders and lawmakers to discuss solutions to address the gap in obesity care and treatment. Learn more at obesityassociation.org |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Transforming Care on the Front Lines. Over 90 of diabetes care takes place in primary care. Thats why we formed the Diabetes Primary Care Alliance, a national network of over 2,000 primary care practices focused on improving health outcomes for people with diabetes. Made possible through a new partnership between the ADA and the DARTNet Institute, the Alliance will accelerate evidence based practices in diabetes care in primary care settings nationwide. Learn more at professional.diabetes.org/PrimaryCareAlliance. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Education is Key. The ADAs expertise is unmatched, and we continually strive to reach new audiences with cutting-edge diabetes knowledge. Enter the Institute of Learning, our state of the art education portal for health care professionals to enhance what they know so they can provide the highest level of care. Since its launch in late 2023, this learner community has grown to more than 150,000 members and now offers more than 200 free continuing education activities. Study up at learning.diabetes.org. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Fighting to End Diabetes on a Global Scale. The prevalence of diabetes is rising worldwide, including in China. To combat this epidemic, the ADA shared research findings and innovative strategies to implement the Standards of Care in Diabetes with Chinese health care professionals, empowering them to improve health outcomes for millions of people with diabetes. The ADA China program was well received and well attended each webinar alone reached at least 13,000 learners. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Combatting Diabetes in the Diabetes Belt. Its possible to prevent or delay type 2 diabetes with the right care and healthy habits. The ADA is leading an effort to expand the National Diabetes Prevention Program, a lifestyle change program proven to significantly reduce type 2 risk, in Southern communities at higher risk for developing diabetes. The Diabetes Prevention Alliance brings together more than 40 organizations, from health care systems to payers, to eliminate barriers to care and transform the health of Americans in six key states Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas. Learn more at professional.diabetes.org/NationalDPP. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Rethinking Type 1 Diabetes. The past decade has brought about remarkable advances in how we diagnose early stage type 1 diabetes through antibody testing, plus new therapies that might slow its progression. The ADA is helping to put those changes into widespread practice through our Type 1 Diabetes Screening and Awareness. Held webinars to educate key stakeholders, including school nurses engaged with our Safe at School program. Achieved over 8M impressions through social and paid media, plus 125K website visits. The ADAs comprehensive education and awareness campaign is already changing how health care professionals and their patients think about type 1. The more people learn their risk, the sooner we can diagnose those who develop the disease and give them the best chance at a long, healthy life. Understanding Type 1 Diabetes now ranks among the top 10 most visited pages on the ADA website, meeting the demand for current, trusted information. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Fighting with MEANINGFUL CONNECTIONS |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | The ADA brings people together. By building strong networks of support, we connect people with diabetes and people with obesity to resources, information, and communities that enable them to thrive and lead healthier, fuller lives. This year, we pursued new and tried-and-true ways to support the diabetes community as we fight to end this disease once and for all. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Access Equals Better Health. In a world where health challenges and needs are as varied as the people they affect, the ADA is determined to dismantle the barriers that stand in the way of effective, compassionate care for the 136 million Americans living with diabetes and prediabetes. We build bridges and elevate community driven solutions, working relentlessly toward a future where everyone can access the health care they need to thrive. In 2024, the ADA collaborated with 22 new community based organizations to reach 3M Americans in 100 communities including Albuquerque, NM Atlanta, GA Birmingham, AL Charlotte, NC Chicago, IL Denver, CO and Washington, DC. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Wellness in the Nations Capital. Nestled at the intersection of the Anacostia and Potomac rivers, Ward 8 has Washington, DCs highest rates of diabetes. Supermarkets and other sources of fresh, nutritious food are scarce, further compounding chronic health conditions for this predominantly Black community. As part of the Collaboration for Equitable Health, we are tackling this problem head on with an initiative centered at Ward 8s Washington View Apartments, whose residents include multigenerational families and older adults. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | The constellation of community based organizations works hand in hand. Black Nurses Rock provides community health education and vital health screenings. The Capital Area Food Bank provides healthy foods to help residents manage diabetes and high blood pressure. So What Else works with youth to help them adopt healthy habits that can prevent diabetes, while Marthas Table is enhancing nutritional literacy across the community. The initiative aims to screen 80 of Washington View residents, deliver nutritional support to 30 of households, and engage 3,100 children annually in youth diabetes prevention and education programs. By concentrating resources in one area, this initiative addresses the intricate relationships between housing, health, and wellness and provides a sustainable, replicable model for reaching other American communities facing similar challenges. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | A Platform for Collective Action. In November, the ADA co-hosted the Achieving Diabetes Equity in Practice Today ADEPT conference with T1D Exchange. The two-day conference created a supportive environment for stakeholders to share knowledge, network, collaborate, and explore actionable solutions to bridge gaps in diabetes care. After the conference, 77 of attendees said they plan to implement changes in their diabetes-related work as a direct result of what they learned. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Building Trust in Clinical Research. The communities most affected by diabetes are underrepresented in most clinical studies that test the innovative treatments that people with diabetes need. In July, the ADA convened about 100 stakeholders including people living with diabetes, health care professionals, diabetes researchers, community based organizations, and industry representatives for a summit in Washington, DC. Attendees shared their experiences and generated recommendations for increasing access to diabetes clinical trials in the nations capital and nationwide. When the right people are represented in research, we improve diabetes care for all. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Preventing Type 2 Diabetes in Americas Youth. We must take steps to lower the risk of type 2 diabetes whenever possible. The ADAs no cost Project Power program helps people of all ages adopt healthy habits and reduce their risk for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. We continue to expand Project Power for Youth to slow the trajectory of childhood obesity and help reduce its consequences among kids ages 5 to 12. In 2024, we started a partnership with Aurora Public Schools APS, one of Colorados largest and most diverse school districts, to bring Project Power to its 38,000 students. The first phase of this partnership with APS will focus on 10 Title 1 elementary schools. Learn more at diabetes.org/ProjectPower |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Igniting Change and Endless Possibilities. This year marked 75 incredible years of providing adventure, personal growth, and lasting connections for children living with diabetes plus plenty of summer fun at ADA Camp. Camp offers kids and families a much needed reprieve from the stress and isolation that often stem from navigating life with diabetes. When children experience the magic of camp, they build critical skills, personal bonds, and a sense of self-worth that will empower them for life. Summer 2024 Snapshot 32 camps, 25 states, 2,784 campers, 45 first-time campers, 1,472 volunteers, 400,000 in need-based financial aid more than 2023. Learn more at diabetes.org/Camp |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Walking and Riding for the Cause. The ADAs signature special events bring together walkers, riders, and donors to raise critical funds for our life changing programs and uplift all people living with diabetes. When were united by a sense of shared purpose, we can do even more to achieve our ultimate goal of ending diabetes once and for all. Participation in Step Out Walk to Stop Diabetes grew by 25 in 2024. |
| Form 990, Part III, Line 4 | Other Program Services revenue reported in Line 4d 1,109,848 relates to the investment in real estate. This investment represents a 1998 donor bequest that restricted the ADA from selling the property for 25 years. A portion of the property is leased to corporations and derives monthly income that is reported in investment income. |
| Form 990, Part VI, Section A, Line 6,7a | The American Diabetes Association has established the voting membership of the ADA as the Voting Members. The Voting Members are comprised of all of the members of the Board of Directors and additional delegates. The Voting Members vote on the election of the organizations governing body each year.

Specifically, the Committee 1 Is composed entirely of non-employee volunteer leaders who have no familial, business or significant personal relationships with the American Diabetes Association or its executives, 2 Assesses the short-term and long-term contribution and performance of CEO and other senior executive employees in meeting very definitive and quantifiable objectives focused on the ADAs mission success, 3 Engages an independent compensation consulting firm to compile appropriate comparability data including compensation market information for peers with whom the American Diabetes Association competes for executive talent, 4 The Committee reviews this data in detail for all elements of each executives total compensation, including but not limited to base salary, bonuses, perquisites, fringe benefits, and incentive and deferred compensation arrangements. Upon the executives hire, and at each point in time thereafter at which a new or revised compensation arrangement is under consideration with respect to the executive, the Committee meets before the arrangement is implemented to evaluate the reasonableness of the arrangement by comparing both the arrangement itself and the executives entire compensation package to compensation packages paid by similarly situated organizations for functionally comparable positions, 5 Documents, concurrently with its determination, the basis for its determination in the minutes of its meeting. These minutes are reviewed, revised if necessary and approved at the following meeting of the Executive Compensation Committee. The process described above was used to establish compensation for the following positions Chief Executive Officer, Chief Development and Delivery Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer, Chief Advocacy Officer, Chief Strategy Officer, Vice President of Information Technology, Vice President of Human Resources, Chief Marketing and Digital Officer. The total compensation of executives at the American Diabetes Association is specifically designed to attract and retain the highest qualified executive talent to fulfill the critically important mission to prevent and cure diabetes and to improve the lives of all people affected by diabetes. |
