Glaucoma Research Foundation

Financials

In a very challenging economic year for charitable giving, the Glaucoma Research Foundation’s Fiscal Year 2009 results were surprisingly strong.

We exceeded a revised revenue goal by completing the fiscal year with a total of $2.93 million in Contributed Income. Steady increases in individual giving, from small gifts to large donations to our annual Benefit, set the pace in a difficult funding environment.

All of us at the Glaucoma Research Foundation are grateful to you, our donors, for your commitment to fulfilling our mission and for your help in sustaining our progress. Together, we are indeed speeding the cure and spreading the word.

We believe in prudently using donated funds for our innovative research and education programs and are proud to have maintained the highest awards from the nation’s leading monitors of non-profit giving:

• Charity Navigator has awarded GRF its highest Four Star ranking for the third consecutive year.

• Better Business Bureau’s Wise Giving Alliance has certified that GRF meets its 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

These are seals of approval that we hope inspire your trust in our efforts to promote research toward a cure for glaucoma.

Founded in 1978 in San Francisco, the Glaucoma Research Foundation is a national non-profit organization created to encourage innovative research to find better ways to care for people with glaucoma.

We receive no government funding and rely almost exclusively on the generosity of individual private donors to fulfill our mission. Thank you for your partnership.
