American Diabetes Association 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan
Sponsored by American Diabetes Association, Arlington, VA
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Form 5500 contains no individual account balances. Look up the original filing at EFAST2.
In the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, American Diabetes Association 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan covered 793 participants and held $42.5M in net assets. The plan is a 403(b) plan sponsored by American Diabetes Association of Arlington, Virginia.
Net assets came to $53,556 per participant, above the $46,267 median for defined contribution plans with 500 to 999 participants and well above the $40,686 median for defined contribution plans in other services. The figure is an average across everyone in the plan, including former employees with small balances; Form 5500 holds no individual account data.
The employer contributed $875K during the year, or $2,022 per active participant against a same-size median of $1,934; participants contributed $2.5M and $1.2M arrived as rollovers and other contributions. Benefits paid out totalled $5.2M.
Schedule C lists 4 service provider organisations paid $5,000 or more, with reported compensation of $33K: $41.68 per participant, well below the same-size median of $113. Administrative expenses charged to the plan were $18K. Schedule C does not capture every cost: fees netted from fund returns and fees the employer pays directly are outside it.
Across the filings on record, net assets went from $12.9M in 2009 to $42.5M in 2024 (up 230%), and participants from 1,001 to 793 (down 21%).
The independent accountant's opinion on the financial statements was disclaimer, from an audit whose scope was limited under ERISA section 103(a)(3)(C) to exclude investment information certified by a bank or insurer.

Questions and answers
How big is American Diabetes Association 403(b) Retirement Savings Plan?
793 participants at the end of the plan year ending 31 Dec 2024, of whom 433 were active employees, with net assets of $42,470,276. Among defined contribution plans that places it in the 500 to 999 participants band, which held 10,588 plans in plan year 2024.
What does American Diabetes Association contribute per participant?
The filing reports $875,451 in employer contributions for the year, which is $2,022 per active participant; the median for plans of the same type and size was $1,934 in plan year 2024. Form 5500 reports the total only. It does not state the match formula, and the per-participant figure is an average, not any one person's contribution.
What fees does the plan pay and how do they compare?
Schedule C reports $33,053 in compensation to service provider organisations, $41.68 per participant or 0.08% of net assets. The same-size median among plans reporting any Schedule C compensation was $113 per participant. Administrative expenses on Schedule H were $17,624. Investment costs deducted inside mutual funds and other pooled vehicles are not itemised on Form 5500, so these figures are a floor rather than a full cost.
Who runs the plan?
The sponsor is American Diabetes Association. Recordkeeping or administration: Fidelity Investments Institutional. Investment advisory or management: Strategic Advisors, Inc.. The financial statements were audited by BDO USA, PC. Form 5500 also names the plan administrator's signer and other individuals; this site publishes organisations only.
Was the audit opinion unqualified?
The filing reports an disclaimer opinion from a limited-scope audit, in which the accountant did not audit investment information certified by a bank or insurance company. A disclaimer of opinion was the usual result of a limited-scope audit under the rules in force before 2021 and is not by itself a finding about the plan.
How current is this, and does it show my balance?
This is the Form 5500 for the plan year 1 Jan 2024 to 31 Dec 2024, received by the Department of Labor on 13 Oct 2025. Filings are due seven months after the plan year ends, or nine and a half with an extension, so the public record always runs a year or more behind. It contains plan-level totals only: no individual balances, contributions or names of participants exist in the data.
