Overview

Mission

Assist individuals most harmed by cannabis prohibition.

What it reported doing in 2025

We assisted 13 "CAURD" dispensary license holders. Among the 13 we served, 8 sought assistance with obtaining approval from OCM to open their dispensary and assistance with obtaining management and funding assistance. Three (3) only sought management and funding assistance. One (1) sought post-dispensary-opening assistance on obtaining funding and 1 sought post-dispensary-opening assistance on obtaining management assistance.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
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.
