Copyright violation

I am concerned to note that this article is a word-for-word copy of material on the website of the organization. I checked the history of the page and it seems as though someone from the organization had a hand in creating the page, which is why I haven't done anything. I'd take a stab at re-writing the copy, but it's already rather well written (better than I could express it, I bet), and I personally feel this organization does good work and I want people to know about it, so I haven't done anything drastic. I have contacted an editor by e-mail who worked on the page whose username is "IDF diabetes" who has no other edits to his/her credit, and whom I strongly suspect is associated with the organization, and asked them to intervene if indeed they are associated.
