Overview

Mission

Drive Sober, Inc. is dedicated to the prevention of impaired driving due to the use of alcohol and drugs. Through the support of our members and associated partners we intend to stimulate public awareness of the dangers of impaired driving, educate the public about impaired driving and alternatives, provide educational and emotional support to victims and families of impaired driving during the judicial and crash recovery processes and support law enforcement agencies.

What it reported doing in 2025

The Top Cop program is where the company recognizes local officers with the highest number of OWI arrests the prior year. The company will also provide local police departments with breath analyzers. Company volunteers are also doing programs at area high schools to alert teens to the dangers of drinking and driving.

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 100% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
