Overview

Mission

The Pennsylvania association of allergy and asthma serves as an advocate for patients with allergic, asthmatic, and immunological disorders in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. We promote and encourage research and the study of allergy, asthma, and clinical immunology; hold conferences and webinars throughout the year to educate a/i practitioners; and disseminate pertinent knowledge to professionals and the lay public.

What it reported doing in 2025

Education: the association promotes and encorages the study of allergy/asthma immunology and disseminates knowledge among professionals and the public. In 2025, the association held its 76th annual meeting. The meeting demonstrated significant growth across all key metrics compared to the previous year. Attendee registration numbers increased by 1.4%, exhibitor participation grew by 7.1%, and overall revenue saw a substantial boost of 14.5%. This growth was driven by increases in registration fees, exhibitor revenue, and sponsorships and reflect a successful event with strong financial performance and growing interest from both attendees and exhibitors. 2025 also saw the reinvigoration of the health equity and workforce development committee, and an increase in the number of in- training members.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 86% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
