Overview

Mission

CCoVA works collaboratively to prevent and reduce substance use and related risk factors in Virginia communities in ways that are measurable and improve the well-being of individuals and communities. CCoVA, as the umbrella organization for community coalitions, provides guidance and education to community coalitions throughout the state in effecting prevention strategies to create environmental change. CCoVA is the Commonwealth of Virginia's voice in educating communities, parents, youth, professionals, and legislators on substance use prevention, treatment and recovery.

What it reported doing in 2024

CCoVA planned its 4th Summit about the prevention of substance use, taking action, building resilient and thriving communities. The 150 attendees for the October 2024 event included CCoVA coalitions, community members, state agencies and other organization interested in substance use prevention, all who collaborated, and shared ideas to reduce substance use in communities across Virginia.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 70% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The program-spending lines do not add up, so the filing cannot show reliably whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
