Overview

Mission

Prevention, education, and outreach for gambling addiction.

What it reported doing in 2024

The fccg is a notforprofit 501(c)(3) independent corporation whose primary mission is to increase public awareness about problem and compulsive gambling, to advocate for services and supports for persons in need of assistance for a gambling problem, and to provide information and resource referrals to diverse populations seeking problem gambling help or information. The fccg provides an array of community outreach services as compulsive gambling transcends throughout every aspect of the marketplace. As public awareness has continued to surface over the years on the issue of gambling addiction, the fccg has developed population specific prevention, education and training programs to meet these evolving needs. The fccg operates the statewide problem gambling helpline service 888-admit-it, providing confidential and multilingual assistance to those in need of information or help with a gambling problem. The fccg also provides Florida gambling industry operators with information and training in the establishment of responsible player programs, and has furnished associated employee training and print/collateral materials featuring the 888-admit-it helpline for access to problem gambling supports.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 92% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
