Overview

Mission

Apsard is an organization consisting of a broad spectrum of allied mental health experts working to improve the quality of care for patients with adhd through the advancement and dissemination of research and evidence-based practices.

What it reported doing in 2024

Annual meeting - the annual apsard conference is an important venue for the presentation of critical information on adhd and related disorders including appropriate diagnosis and assessment, current, as well as emerging, treatment paradigms and updates in science and technology advances.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 70% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
