What A Better Way Outreach Inc does
Mission
Provide high quality opiate dependence treatment to assist in regaining normal life experience.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
In 2024, a better way outreach (abwo) made significant progress in addressing substance use disorders (suds) and expanding access to care for marginalized individuals in indianapolis and central indiana. Expanded treatment and counseling services served over 600 individuals through comprehensive addiction treatment, including: medication-assisted treatment (mat) for opioid and alcohol dependence (suboxone, sublocade, vivitrol, zubsolv, brixadi). Individual and group counseling focused on recovery, mental health, and trauma. Primary care physician services, integrating medical and behavioral health care. Increased client adherence to treatment plans by 1.5%, improving recovery outcomes. Continued operating as a walk-in clinic, reducing barriers to treatment for those most in need. Facility expansion to serve more clients expanded to a larger location, allowing us to serve more individuals and families seeking recovery support. The new space improves accessibility and offers room for additional counseling, medical care, and supportive services.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2020, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2020, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $76k to $222k (+191%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2024 31%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
31% of A BETTER WAY OUTREACH INC’s revenue is contributions — about as donation-reliant as the typical peer (82% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
Grant support over time, funder by funder — shade shows the grant size each year.
1 of 1 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 100% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of A BETTER WAY OUTREACH INC’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
100% of A BETTER WAY OUTREACH INC's grant income arrives through donor-advised or pass-through sponsors, whose addresses record where the money is held rather than where the donor is. Too little is directly attributable to place on a map.
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $275k arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
