Where Does $100 to the American Lung Association Go (2023)?
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 16 independent voting members (directors) of the governing body although 18 are listed on the Form 990 (2023) due to timing differences; 11 of the 18 (61%) are male while 7 of the 18 (39%) 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 (558 people) so the organization is a non-profit (a 501 (c) (3)) that provides services rather than a non-profit that collects revenue to make grants for funding research (ALA only made $17 million in grants in 2023) for program assistance.
