Here's how the foundation gave out their money last year:

Research and awards: $39 million (rounded)
Public health education: $44 million
Health screening services: $17 million
Treatment Services: $8 million
Total: $110 million

Approximately 75% of the money they raise goes back out the door, the other 25% is salaries, and "supporting services".
