The National Hemophilia Foundation changed its name to The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation. According to the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) consolidated audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 1, Nature of Organization): "The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (formerly the National Hemophilia Foundation) ('NBDF') was incorporated in the State of New York on June 25, 1948. NBDF's mission is dedicated to finding cures for inheritable blood and bleeding disorders and addressing and preventing the complications of these disorders through research, education and advocacy, enabling people and families to thrive. NBDF and other independent organizations ('member chapters') actively collaborate in furthering the Foundation's mission throughout the United States. On June 23, 2011, five chapters merged with NBDF. On February 24, 2014 and January 27, 2016, a sixth and seventh chapter was created by the Foundation; consequently, the two subsequently created chapters along with those of the five previously merged chapters are included in the consolidated financial statements of NBDF. All other member chapters continue to operate independently of NBDF and thus, are not included in the consolidated financial statements of NBDF and are referred to as the 'member chapters'..." According to the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) consolidated audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 1, Nature of Organization, Affiliate): "The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation Venture Fund LLC (formerly the National Hemophilia Foundation Venture Fund LLC) doing business as Pathway to Cures ('P2C') was established during 2021 and operates as a nonprofit Delaware single member limited liability company. NBDF, its sole member, has limited liability for the obligations or debts of the entity. P2C is an initiative focused on fueling innovation and discovery in the treatment of inheritable blood and bleeding disorders..." According to the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) consolidated audit of December 31, 2023 (Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Principles of Consolidation): "The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of NBDF and P2C. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation."
The seven chapters included in the 2023 consolidated audited financial statements of NBDF are: (1) Central Ohio Chapter, (2) Idaho Chapter, (3) Nevada Chapter, (4) Colorado Chapter, (5) Nebraska Chapter, (6) West Virginia Chapter, and (7) Hawaii Chapter. Given that the financial activities of these seven chapters and P2C are consolidated in NBDF's audited financial statements, they also are included in CharityWatch's rating of the National Bleeding Disorders Foundation. Our rating does not include the other, independently operated chapters of NBDF. |
