Overview

Mission

To serve those in recovery by providing a welcoming and safe place, free of addictive substances and behaviors, for meeting, friendship, education, and recreation. The main function is to provide space for recovery meetings.

What it reported doing in 2025

The alano club has been meeting its mission as described above and has served over the last two years between 21,000 to 23,000 visits at 12 step meetings annually. The club provides meeting space for 12 step groups including but not limited to: aa, dypaa, al anon, alateen, narcotics anonymous, adult children, and grasp. The club also holds social events for fellowship. It remains the only recovery related facility of its kind in the four corners region. The four corners region does not have any active treatment facilities other than detox, and the club remains the key place for recovery available 7 days a week to any person, no matter what their financial circumstances, to come to engage in recovery from various addictions, and seek fellowship and support for all affected.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and liabilities are high compared with assets.
