Mission
The American Brain Coalition, a nonprofit organization, seeks to advance the understanding of the functions of the brain, and to reduce the burden of brain disorders through education, public advocacy, and outreach.
-
The American Brain Coalition (ABC) is a nonprofit organization comprised of nearly 200 of the United States leading professional neurological, psychological, and psychiatric associations and patient organizations, clinicians, researchers, academia, industry, and government agencies. We are a strong and powerful voice for the millions of people with disabling brain disorders, bringing together organizations that represent concerned and interested patients, families, and professionals. This voice is used to encourage the development of coordinated activities on a shared agenda, advocate for increased support of research that will lead to better treatment; services and support that will improve patients quality of life; as well as a national commitment towards finding cures for individuals withdisabling brain disorders.AdvocacyABCs broad advocacy focus appeals to all member groups. Carrying out this work brings the ABC closer to fulfilling its mission to advance understanding of brain functions to reduce the burden and stigma of brain diseases and conditions in order to improve the lives of impacted people. This includes individuals with lived experience, their caregivers, those who treat patients, and researchers and scientists studying the brain. Research shows that when we adopt healthier brain habits, cognitive function can often be enhanced or extended. ABC is committed to bringing science-backed brain health approaches to the public, while also encouraging research and dialogue on the responsible use of advances to brain science.Innovative Approaches for Developing New Treatments and TherapeuticsABC recognizes the unmet need for the development of products to treat brain diseases and conditions. Innovation is critical to improve the lives of people with these conditions. Federal agencies, like the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), must develop policies that keep pace with emerging brain science and work to advance discoveries, ensuring that individuals with brain diseases and conditions have access to new, safe, and effective treatments and therapeutics.Member Engagement and OutreachABC offers educational webinars to our members and affiliates on a wide range of topics that are of interest to the brain disease community. This format allows us to reach hundreds of individuals and easily provide education to our members. It also allows our members to participate in real time, which will allow them to ask questions of the panelists or listen when its convenient for them since ourwebinars are archived.

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. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. 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. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

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 11 November 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.
