Overview

Mission

To improve community health, reduce stigma towards people with substance abuse disorders, and work across systems to produce positive community change.

What it reported doing in 2025

Increase public understanding of alcoholism and substance abuse, to counsel individuals with problems associated with the use of alcohol and other drugs, and to provide community facilities for rehabilitation of alcoholism and substance abuse within and around genesee and orleans counties, New York.

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 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 most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
