Overview

Mission

Our mission is to encourage and motivate the implementation of overdose and disease prevention, public health strategies, drug policy transformation, while decreasing our dependence on carceral responses in Arizona through direct action, leadership, advocacy, resource and policy development, and education.

What it reported doing in 2024

Through 2024, the Southwest Recovery Alliance focused on building alliances that amplify the voices of people living with Hepatitis C (HCV) and HIV, increasing statewide awareness on HCV/HIV prevention and elimination, all while maintaining and expanding our overdose and disease prevention education campaigns and direct services throughout the region. We also continued our work amplifying the voices of people impacted by racialized drug policies, people experiencing poverty and housing insecurity, and people who have been incarcerated.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
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 - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. 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.
