Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

The NEC Society is a Clinician-Family collaborative organization specifically focused on the understanding, prevention and treatment of necrotizing enterocolitis.

  • In 2024, the NEC Society helped expand the NEC Biorepository, which is working to understand how and why necrotizing enterocolitis develops in neonates so we can identify biomarkers and prevention strategies to ensure infants are protected from NEC before the disease ever develops. The NEC Society participated in several initiatives calling attention to research gaps and the urgent need for more science dedicated to understanding and preventing NEC, including the NICHDs NEC Working Group. The NEC Society launched three new research awards to attract and support the brightest minds to study NEC, including the Early Career NEC Research Award, the Pediatric Surgery NEC Research Award, and the Neonatal-Perinatal Fellow NEC Research Award. The NEC Society also contributed to several research publications, including articles in Pediatric Research.

    Expenses $163,646 · Grants $35,700

  • In 2024, the NEC Society presented at over 100 educational conferences, sessions, and webinars across the US and internationally, helping to inform patient-families, clinicians, and stakeholders about the urgent need to understand, prevent, diagnose, and treat necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as the risk and protective factors associated with the disease. At the Pediatric Academic Societies Meeting, the NEC Society presented a 7-hour post-graduate course highlighting the latest science and strategies to improve outcomes for NICU families and infants affected by NEC. The NEC Society also continued to expand our resource boxes for recently diagnosed and bereaved families so they have access to essential information they need to advocate for their child and navigate the trauma of experiencing NEC.

    Expenses $151,737 · Grants $2,500 · Revenue $3,874

  • In 2024, the NEC Society held meetings with more than 30 elected officials across the US to help them understand the devastation of necrotizing enterocolitis and the urgent need to improve outcomes for NICU families and babies. The power of our patient-families personal stories motivated state legislators to pass NEC Awareness Day Resolutions declaring May 17th NEC Awareness Day to increase awareness about NEC outside of the neonatal intensive care unit. Given the power of our patient-family stories, to date, California, Pennsylvania, New York, Louisiana, Colorado, New Jersey, Georgia, and Utah have declared May 17th NEC Awareness Day. The NEC Society also helped to organize 40 community-based events across the US to raise awareness about the disease and provide evidence-based information to patient-families, clinicians, and community members.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Other IRS files

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
