Overview

Mission

The Twelve Step Recreation Association Inc. is a nonprofit organization which successfully serves persons in drug and alcohol addiction recovery-based programs and their families by organizing, sponsoring, facilitating, and hosting recreational activities.

What it reported doing in 2025

In 2025, TSRA served over 1000 community members and their families, specifically those suffering from mental illness and substance abuse disorders, by providing 2 seasons of coed softball, 5 seasons of coed volleyball, 1 season of coed soccer, pickleball every Saturday night, and over 12 additional events including a national tournament for those with substance abuse disorder with over 500 in attendance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
