True breakthroughs will occur only through well-designed research projects and at Bay Area Lyme, we have a rigorous screening and monitoring process, grant contingencies, and project reporting, to ensure that projects are effectively designed and funds well spent. In 2023, Bay Area Lyme Foundation funded 17 grants averaging $93,000 per award to various institutions across the country for a total of $1,654,806. $963,219 was awarded to projects focused on improved diagnostics of Lyme disease and other tick-borne infections; $171,139 awarded to improve therapies, and the remaining grants for ecology and awareness projects. Duke University received a grant of $370,448 to continue the work of the late Dr. Neil Spector on Lyme disease. The 2023 Emerging Leader Award totaling $150,000 was awarded to a diagnostic project at the Geneva Foundation. 271000 65000 Bay Area Lyme Foundation's education and awareness programs include free Ticktective podcasts, Speaker Series presentations and a wide variety of education and training regarding tick-bite prevention. In 2023, Bay Area Lyme entered into its third year of its partnership with the American Junior Golf Association (AJGA) providing its young members with tick prevention pouches that included a tick removal key, repellant and information about Lyme disease and other tick borne infections. This multi-year partnership is targeting over 10,000 youths across the country. It was the premier sponsor of 2 tournaments both held in California. One virtual Speaker Series event was held in the fall of 2023 where guests listened to Dr. Sunjya Schweig discuss the top lifestyle interventions to aid recovery in tick borne illnesses. 2095634 true true false false false false false false false false true false true false false true false true false false false false false false true false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false true 17 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 3 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X LINDA GIAMPA EXEC DIRECTOR 6505302439 884 PORTOLA RD PORTOLA VALLEY CA 94028 LINDA GIAMPA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR/SECRETARY 19.39 20.61 X 249150 0 9879 DIANNE BARNEY CONTROLLER 10.0 20.0 X 117423 0 8784 LAURE WOODS PRESIDENT, BOARD OF DIRECTOR 2.0 1.0 X X 0 0 0 BONNIE CRATER TREASURER, BOARD 2.26 0.08 X X 0 0 0 SUSAN STREHLOW DIRECTOR 1.0 1.0 X 0 0 0 366573 0 18663 2 false true false 0 449084 1448114 8200 1897198 0 29312 29312 0 0 0 0 0 898885 881421 17464 17464 17464 60726 449084 8200 52526 52526 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1996500 99302 1669578 1669578 50228 50228 0 0 119081 74059 45022 0 118756 12793 105963 0 7814 7814 20326 5361 14965 0 16984 16984 52603 52603 0 0 13641 13641 205132 166147 38985 9747 3048 2088 4611 4591 1686 2905 0 0 21394 10022 11372 16953 9231 7722 0 71550 60750 10800 0 0 0 6128 227 5901 OTHER OPERATING SERVICES 12823 4299 8524 BUILDING REPAIRS AND MAINTENAN 1840 633 1207 SUPPLIES & EQUIPMENT 29701 26462 3239 CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEES 10232 10232 13610 1110 12500 2472712 2095634 372467 4611 257860 384989 0 0 33861 120340 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8529 7032 11100 11100 1433873 1430609 0 0 455181 455181 0 0 49416 40410 2238720 2438561 98418 88774 1515975 1986213 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1614393 2074987 X 309330 -161663 314997 525237 624327 363574 2238720 2438561 -476212 215459 X false true X true false X 1538472 2446845 3300710 3063008 1897198 12246233 0 0 1538472 2446845 3300710 3063008 1897198 12246233 3027413 9218820 43921 29740 36288 45262 29312 184523 0 0 0 56400 52526 108926 12539682 0.73517 0.76156 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 11100 11100 STOCK IN FLIGHTPATH BIOSCIENCE 223287 C STOCK IN CERES NANOSCIENCE 231894 C 455181 0 0 X Part X, Line 2 U.S. GAAP requires the Organization to evaluate tax positions taken and recognize a tax liability if the Organization have taken an uncertain tax position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination.
