Overview

Mission

The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law's primary exempt purpose is to research, analyze, publish studies, and provide training and technical assistance regarding legal and policy issues that affect the health of adolescents and their access to comprehensive health care.

What it reported doing in 2012

The Center for Adolescent Health & the Law produced over 3 publications that were widely disseminated to hundreds of youth-serving professionals and members of the public. It provided presentations for 3 conferences, meetings, and webinars sponsored by tax-exempt organizations. It also provided consultation services and responded to technical assistance requests from approximately 100 individuals and organizations.

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 a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
