Mission

The mission of NAFC is to be the leading source for public education and advocacy about the causes, prevention, diagnosis, treatments, and management alternatives for bladder and bowel dysfunction. Our key objectives are to destigmatize incontinence, promote preventive measures, motivate individuals to seek treatment, and provide collaborative advocacy and service for those who are affected by these problems. Our constituents are not just people who are dealing with incontinence (whether personally or as a caregiver), but real people with lives to live, places to go, errands to run, families to take care of.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
