What it reported doing in 2024
Appalachian Regional Commission INSPIRE Grant - 2nd cash advance to continue implementation of recovery to work programs that create a recovery ecosystem of support, a social enterprise business to train and employ those in recovery and prepare them for reentry into society. The grant supported vocational training, resume building, advanced job searches, interview skill building, interviewing techniques and etiquette, follow-up. Outreach was done to create a network of potential employers who are willing to hire individuals in recovery. Nearly 250 individuals have received support and long-term employment opportunities from this program to date while working on all aspects of maintaining sobriety from drugs and alcohol.
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
SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
