Overview

Mission

Reducing the harms of alcohol across the state. We do this at the system level through advocacy for policy change, prevention, and shifting social norms to reduce stigma for folks needing help, normalizing sobriety, and honoring recovery.

What it reported doing in 2024

Social Norms - this spending was primarily used in three ways: to sponsor and support community-led prevention and recovery events/programs; hosting Science of Stigma trainings; and broad dissemination of our underage alcohol prevention campaign.

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 94% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
