The Aaron Diamond AIDS Research Center (ADARC) is a not-for-profit corporation and is exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c) (3) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code.
The Finance Office of the Center is dedicated to providing the highest quality support to the Center’s faculty, and scientific staff while also fulfilling its fiduciary responsibility of protecting the long-term interests of the Center and operating at the highest levels of professionalism and integrity.
The Center also tries to maintain high efficiency in ensuring that as much funding as possible is directed to program—related expenses. In 2011 the Center’s expenses totaled $16.2 million (not including depreciation). Program expenses were almost 83 percent of these expenses, meaning that 83 cents of every dollar went directly to AIDS research. Also, ADARC maintains a very low fundraising ratio of under 1 percent of total expenses. Over the past seven years, ADARC has received a four star rating (highest rating) from Charity Navigator.
