Overview

Mission

Landon pediatric foundation was formed to engage in medical education and research to benefit the children globally.

What it reported doing in 2025

Landon pediatric foundation supported cystic fibrosis care and research through continued participation in the cystic fibrosis foundation research development program led by dr. Ap naren of cedars-sinai. Activities included work with usc, uc san diego, and cedars-sinai; support for patients with rare cystic fibrosis genotypes not corrected by currently available medications; and advancement of precision-medicine approaches including molecular-glue testing using nasal-induced pluripotent stem cells on a nose-on-a-chip platform. The pediatric diagnostic center cystic fibrosis clinic continued to receive support from the cystic fibrosis foundation and was re-certified as a California childrens services cystic fibrosis and pulmonary center.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and assets have declined or grown slowly.
