Overview

Mission

Ipc is a dermatology-led, voluntary, global nonprofit organization dedicated to innovation across the full spectrum of psoriasis. Ipc's mission is to improve the care of people with psoriasis worldwide through education, research, and advocacy.

What it reported doing in 2025

Research and patient careipc advanced clinical standards, research, and patient care through publications, guidance initiatives, and collaboration. Ipc published work supporting its disease severity recategorization initiative, including the definition of topical treatment failure; enhanced resources for diverse skin types; launched a global pediatric psoriasis working group; supported inclusion of adalimumab and ustekinumab on the who model list of essential medicines; and partnered with the national psoriasis foundation on a joint tb testing publication. Ipc also launched a rapid communications program to address guideline gaps, supported research fellows through onsite placements, held research symposia at sid and esdr, and convened its annual think tank scientific symposium. Ipc does not provide direct clinical care but improves patient outcomes by equipping clinicians with education, tools, guidance, and research.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
