There are many existing evidence-based and promising strategies to address impaired driving; however, a coordinated, multilevel approach across multiple sectors is required to accelerate change. Across our 45-year history, madd has worked to solve the defining problems of impaired driving. Today's challenges are defined by large, intersecting issues that imperil decades of development gains. To drive progress, madd aligns on specific objectives and adopts new strategies to achieve them across all 50 states and puerto rico where we work. Madd is on the front lines, changing policy and legislation that continue to make our roads safer for generations to come by preventing drunk and impaired driving, from the 1984 21 minimum age drinking law signed by president reagan, to the 2000 .08 bac measure signed by president clinton and to the halt act signed as part of the…

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. 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 2024 to 2025, from $20M to $18M (−12%).
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.

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 45 funders to 65 funders, grant income rose $262k → $649k.
38 of 206 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 77% 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 MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 206 funders by total. 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.
How concentrated its funding is
MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING has a broad base — no single funder exceeds 31% of grant income, and it takes 4 funders to reach half.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 4 funders to its left
81% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 24% · 2018 30% · 2019 25% · 2020 25% · 2021 57% · 2022 13% · 2023 16% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. 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.
How long its funders stay
25% of MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 50% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
77% of MOTHERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING'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. Of the $1.9M that is directly attributable, 93% of it comes from funders outside Texas, across 33 states.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $6.3M arriving through sponsors registered in 23 states 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.
