Overview

Mission

Instep exists to strengthen central Indiana's response to substance use disorder by uniting multisector partners in coordinated, person-centered action. Founded in 2018, our mission is to advance communication, collaboration, and the sharing of evidence-based and culturally responsive best practices across healthcare, behavioral health, public health, social services, and community organizations.

What it reported doing in 2025

Instep convenes and supports members from over 200 organizations to improve care coordination, care transitions, and recovery supports for individuals and families affected by substance use disorder. Through integrated learning opportunities, cross-sector problem-solving, and a commitment to trauma-informed equitable, and community-driven approaches, instep works to reduce overdose morbidity and mortality and to strengthen the systems that serve our most vulnerable neighbors.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 90% 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

STRONG - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
