Overview
Mission
We are passionate about healing individuals, families and communities challenged by substance use disorders and related mental health conditions.ACDE has been inactive over the last several years and is in the process of dissolution.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Other-operating. 100% of the money available for current operations came from other operating revenue.
- Distribution model
- No current program activity. The filing reports no program spending for the current year.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and most voting board members are independent. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence.
