Overview

Mission

Mobilize Recovery is dedicated to raising up the voices of people whose lives are affected by addiction. From direct outreach to civic & community engagement, we empower advocates to take direct action by providing digital tools, advocacy training, and education.

What it reported doing in 2025

Mobilize recovery, launched in 2018 through the facebook community leadership program, continued its mission to empower and connect recovery advocates nationwide. In 2024, the organization took its advocacy efforts on the road with a nationwide bus tour that made 27 stops in 13 states. Building on this momentum, 2025 was designated as a "year of action," highlighted by the launch of the campus surge initiative. This fall tour brought recovery leadership directly to college campuses, joining forces with end overdose and collegiate communities to dismantle barriers and champion mental health and recovery awareness. The 2025 campus surge tour included: 16 events across 15 states, uniting more than 6,500 students, faculty, and community leaders. National co-chairs including american idol winner noah thompson, jelly roll, melissa etheridge, and darren waller, whose visibility helped normalize recovery in campus culture. High-impact stops at institutions such as unlv, rutgers university, Ohio state, georgetown, and Texas tech, featuring advocacy workshops, empowerment trainings, and live music. The year's efforts also included the annual mobilize recovery day of service, which saw record-breaking engagement in 2025 with 781 community- led service projects nationwide. This initiative continues to demonstrate the power of recovery by uniting thousands of volunteers to give back to their local communities through food drives, park cleanups, and resource distribution.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 91% 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 - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and liabilities are high compared with assets.
