Overview

Mission

Substance abuse prevention education services.

What it reported doing in 2024

Informed families' programs focus on drug prevention and family support, with the goal of empowering Florida's youth to make healthy choices. We utilize a variety of strategies to achieve this, including education, community mobilization, and school-based programs. Community mobilization is critical to helping kids grow up safe, healthy, and drug-free, as it brings together parents, schools, community organizations, and local leaders to work together towards creating a supportive environment that fosters positive youth development and reduces risk factors associated with substance abuse. By engaging the entire community, we create a network of support that reinforces healthy messages and strengthens prevention efforts. In the past year, we have reached 1,178,089 Florida children and families with targeted messaging, participated in multiple events and trainings to engage with the community directly, and secured the participation of major Florida landmarks in lighting up red for red ribbon week. We received 11 entries for the red ribbon week photo contest and one entry for the red ribbon theme contest. We also certified 3 new red ribbon certified schools in Florida, bringing the total to over 93 schools nationwide, and received 14 entries for the family day photo contest, with three family winners and one school winner. While some achievements are difficult to quantify, our efforts have contributed to a greater awareness of drug prevention and healthier choices among Florida's youth. We have fostered a sense of community involvement and empowered schools to create safer, more supportive learning environments. Our ongoing commitment to these goals continues to positively impact individuals, families, and communities across Florida.

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

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
