The American Lung Association (ALA) was established more than 100 years ago (1918) initially to fight tuberculosis but expanded its mission to improve lung health and preventing lung disease through research, education, and advocacy.
There are 18 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body; 12 of the 18 (67%) are male while 6 of the 18 (33%) are female.
Specifically, ALA works to “defeat” lung cancer, “improve” the air we breathe, “reduce” the burden of lung disease on individuals and families, and “eliminate” tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases. To do this, the organization relies on staff (817 people) so the organization is a non-profit (a 501 (c) (3)) that provides services more than a grant maker (ALA made $13 million in grants in 2021) who provides funding for research or program assistance.
