Overview

Mission

"to offer support to those struggling with alcohol as well as other substance abuses and destructive behaviors. With a focus on reducing driving under the influence injuries and fatalities, intoxicated driving, underage drinking, and drug abuse, we strive to offer education and other means of prevention, promote victim advocacy, as well as assist those both directly and indirectly affected. Ultimately, we aim to achieve positive rehabilitation for all parties involved."

What it reported doing in 2015

Our primary purpose is to impact the current epidemic of drunk driving, underage drinking, and drug abuse by educating on the very gruesome, real, and harmful truths and consequences of participating in such behaviors. Differing greatly from other organizations educational programs, stay designated, founded by an offender, hopes to bring together education in a rare and enlightening format. From a refreshingly skewed viewpoint, while demonstrating from personal experience, it is our hope that we can enhance the understanding that lives can literally change in a moment. With this fast pace, 'do-now-and-think-later' generation, stay designated brings an, 'in your face' take, on decision vs. Consequence. We also believe equally in the need for recovery. Our therapeutic services division strives to offer indivdual and group counseling, an 8-week substance abuse treatment program, education based workshops, 12-step model groups, coaching and mentoring, and sponsorship as similarly represented in many 12-step programs. For those that seek recovery, we welcome you. There are millions of people that have sought recovery from substance abuse and/or abuses they've faced by others' substance abuse. The capabilities of its potency are endless.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% 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

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
