What Prevented does
Mission
Prevent ed works to reduce or prevent the harms of alcohol and other drug use through education, intervention, and advocacy.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Community-based prevention: Prevented is designated by the missouri department of mental health (dmh) as a prevention resource center to provide training and technical guidance to community coalitions focused on drug and alcohol prevention. We currently serve 28 coalitions utilizing the strategic prevention framework and assisting with grant opportunities. This team also delivers substance-related presentations and trainings throughout the community. These include the youth mental health first aid (ymhfa) and teen mental health first aid (tmhfa) programs that teach individuals how to respond to mental health concerns or crisis with young people. By partnering with schools, Prevented delivered tmhfa to more than 1,400 students in the eastern missouri region in 2023.

Last year, cps staff served 134 individuals.

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 2023 to 2024, from $4.7M to $5.7M (+20%).
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: 2017 67% · 2018 70% · 2019 73% · 2020 79% · 2021 76% · 2022 76% · 2023 78% · 2024 67%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
96% of PREVENTED’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (51% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base broadened from 8 funders to 17 funders, grant income rose $548k → $596k.
6 of 32 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 7% 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 PREVENTED’s funders (the co-funder graph). Top 30 of 32 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
PREVENTED leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% 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 PREVENTED.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 83% · 2018 88% · 2019 63% · 2020 86% · 2021 82% · 2022 73% · 2023 62% — 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
42% of PREVENTED's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 63% 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
96% of PREVENTED's grant income comes from Missouri funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $334k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 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.
