  3. The family success division is rooted in our family success centers (fsc) and offers multiple family strengthening programs and opportunities. Prevention links understands the essential role of the family in building resiliency and an intrinsic desire to achieve in our young people as well as serving as the cornerstone for a healthy community. The fsc approach is collaborative; local residents serve as mentors and decision makers; families use strengths/skills to problem solve. Fscs include community involvement and shared responsibility. The design and delivery of fscs affirm and strengthen cultural identity and diversity; staff of fsc represents the culture, ethnicity, and makeup of the community.

  4. The community prevention division offers evidence based programs, training and strategies to schools, parents, and community organizations that are outcome based and empower all segments of a community to be actively engaged in changing their environments. Our goal is to help create "prevention prepared" communities in order to stop substance misuse before it starts. Substance misuse does not discriminate and no one is immune to the effects. Therefore, it is essential that we arm our families, schools and work environments with the most current information and tools to help keep our communities drug free. This division is home to the union county health and wellness coalition (hawc) as well as many of prevention links traditional community engagement programs.

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.

03Who funds it

Who funds it, year by year

2019 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 6 funders, grant income rose $50k → $307k.

5 of 13 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 6% 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 PREVENTION LINKS 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.

How concentrated its funding is

PREVENTION LINKS INC leans on a few funders — its largest provides 47% of grant income and the top three 87%; half comes from just 2 funders.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left

72% 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 PREVENTION LINKS INC.

“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

50% of PREVENTION LINKS INC's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 62% give in more than one year at all.

first grant+1y+2y+3y

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.

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $75k arriving through sponsors registered in 4 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.
