2011 Financial Report

Total revenue for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 was $4.8 million.

Total net assets were $5,485,050.

A two-year, $1.6 million gift from the Melza M. and Frank Theodore Barr Foundation to support the Catalyst For a Cure, a generous bequest from a grateful patient, and substantial contributions from annual donors and new donors alike helped make fiscal 2011 a landmark year for Glaucoma Research Foundation.

Growth in investment income also contributed to a successful year. Funds directed to research included the Frank Stein and Paul S. May Glaucoma Research Grants, support for Shaffer Grants, and the two-year gift from the Melza M. and Frank Theodore Barr Foundation.

We are committed to maintaining efficient operations that allow 84 cents of every dollar raised to go directly to research and patient education programs. Glaucoma Research Foundation has earned recognition from the nation’s top charity monitoring organizations including the Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance, Charity Navigator, and GuideStar.

We believe strongly in organizational transparency; our financial information, including IRS form 990 and audited financial statements, is freely available here on our website.
