Overview

Mission

To reduce tobacco related disease and death by educating youth about the dangers of tobacco, encouraging communities to implement smoke free ordinances and promoting tobacco cessation services.

What it reported doing in 2025

We visit the public schools in Stone, George and Greene Counties in Mississippi twice every week. We show videos, hand out literature and present programs designed to keep students from using tobacco. We provide them with a toll free phone number that they can use to get help with stopping the use of tobacco. Our funds come from a grant from the Mississippi Department of Health.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 81% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 87% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
