Overview
Mission
To provide information and resources to the general public to create awareness around the safe use of acetaminophen and over the counter drugs. Will also focus on wellness initiatives that might reduce the inclination to use over the counter pain relievers.
What it reported doing in 2025
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Catie's Cause expended its medication safety and wellness literacy initiatives through community outreach, digital education, and the distribution of educational resources. The Organization distributed approximately 25,250 medication safety coasters through restaurants and community partners, conducted five in-person educational outreach events at schools and community venues, and expanded the placement of free educational materials in pharmacies, physicians' offices, and other community locations. Catie's Cause also significantly expanded its digital outreach. During the fiscal year, the Organization's educational website welcomed more than 13,000 users, maintained a 60.7% engagement rate, and recorded 281 educational resource downloads. Across Facebook, Instagram, Linkedin, and Pinterest, Catie's Cause generated more than 466,000 social media impressions, substantially increasing awareness of medication safety and wellness literacy resources. The Organization launched a Google Ad Grant program during the fiscal year, generating more than 70,000 search impressions and 5,300 clicks while utilizing approximately $33,000 in Google Ad Grant advertising value to connect individuals searching for medication safety information with Catie's Cause's educational resources. To strengthen program evaluation, Catie's Cause implemented enhanced analytics to measure downloads of educational materials and expanded QR code surveys associated with its medication safety coasters. These improvements established a stronger framework for measuring public engagement, increasing medication safety awareness, and evaluating future changes in knowledge and intended behaviors.
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 85% 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 program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and liabilities are high compared with assets.
