Overview

Mission

OUR Place operates a peer-led recovery community center, open seven days per week, including holidays, providing daily peer support, recovery meetings, harm-reduction outreach, family and youth support programming, and connection to treatment and community resources for individuals and families affected by substance use and mental health challenges.

What it reported doing in 2024

Healthy Pro-Social Alcohol and Drug-Free Activities & Events: The organization provided structured sober social programming including recovery meetings, wellness activities, educational workshops, creative programming, and community meals. Approximately 23 weekly meetings and group activities were hosted in a safe substance-free environment to reduce isolation and strengthen recovery support networks for participants and families. The organization also conducted approximately 6-8 larger annual recovery-supportive community events, including an Overdose Awareness Day memorial event, Sober October recovery celebration, holiday family activities, and other substance-free community gatherings designed to engage individuals and families in recovery-supportive environments.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 97% 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 reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
