Executive Compensation at the American Diabetes Association (2021)
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. In 2018, with the replacement of the Executive Director and key staff, revenue increased slightly -by $14 million to $158 million – but declined by $11 million to $147 million in 2019 and then by $30 million to $117 million in 2020. But, in 2021, revenue increased to $138 million in 2021.
By cutting staff (from 1,500 in 2013 to 333 in 2021) and other expenses, ADA seems to be back on track financially but a smaller version of themselves. However, it remains to be seen if the organization will accomplish their key goals in the years ahead: to prevent and cure diabetes because they have to start doing things differently and specifically to educate and convince the public to make dietary changes.
