Overview
Mission
Apnc is the only North Carolina professional membership organization with a legislative voice that advocates exclusively on behalf of addiction professionals, organizations, and the communities they serve. Through community partnerships in the areas of prevention, harm reduction, treatment, and recovery, our members tell us what they see in their communities, and apnc ensures this information is made available to legislators and state officials. Additionally, our organization provides technical assistance to various direct service providers across the state through state funding from the department of health and human services.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 88% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
