Executive Compensation at the American Diabetes Association (2019)

The American Diabetes Association (ADA) is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501 (c) (3) based in Arlington, Virginia.  Over the past several years, the ADA experienced a drop in revenues and a decline in the organization’s endowment but in 2018, with the replacement of the Executive Director and key staff, the numbers increased slightly (by $14 million) but declined by $11 million in 2019.
