Overview

Mission

One recovery is a program to support all struggles for adolescents and their family members. One recovery conducts support groups and awareness events on campuses, in the community, and online. The only requirement for membership is a desire to be inspired.

What it reported doing in 2025

Community awareness events. One recovery conducts community events raising awareness about a struggle affecting communities such as the red ribbon panles, the one pride event. These events pull teens, parents, and the community together in a setting infused with art, music, food, and inspirational speakers with a pulse.

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

MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
