What Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility does
Mission
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibly leads in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Ask, Listen, Learn is a multimedia program available in print and online for parents and middle school age kids. The program is based on research that identifies parents as the leading influence in kids' decisions not to drink. By fostering conversations between parents and kids, youth will learn about the consequences of underage drinking, how alcohol affects growing bodies and minds and how to stand up to peer pressure. Materials for parents (also available in Spanish) help parents with both what to say to their kids about alcohol and how to say it.

In an effort to achieve FAAR's mission of eliminating drunk driving, efforts are underway to reduce the fatalities caused by this group of offenders. A law school curriculum has been developed with Suffolk Law School. Judicial publications serve to assist judges in their efforts to adjudicate these complex cases, and FAAR continues to support Harvard Medical School's efforts to create and test the cars assessment tool designed to focus on the mental health issues facing nearly half of these offenders.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $7.1M to $12M (+63%).
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.
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 8 reported years ran a deficit.
