Program

  1. Drive Strong Inc - in partnership with atlanta motorsports park - provides atlanta teenagers with a unique opportunity to learn life-saving advanced driving skills from professional instructors. Using the park's state of the art training facilities, including a world class skid pad and ice hill, drive strong atlanta teaches advanced driving maneuvers that are not covered during traditional drivers education. Students learn vital driving skills for life including wet weather, evasive and defensive handling skills as well as the dangers of distracted driving. The organization provides a one-day instructional teen driving program. The program is available to students aged 15-19 who have had their permit for six months and at least 25 hours of basic driving experience with a parent or guardian. Students receive immediate feedback on safety precautions and vehicle handing corrections as students respond to real world scenarios.

Each line starts at 100 in 2018, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2018, 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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $290 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.
