In 2024-2025, the program reached 2,518 students, in a six-session educational program and in individual meetings with the roadd health educator as needed. Pre- and post- surveys completed by the students showed statistically significant improvement in perception of risk of harm resulting in a reduction of unhealthy behaviors related to alcohol & other drug use, and driving. This includes a statistically significant increase in students reporting they would be less likely to drive after using alcohol, marijuana, or other drugs. The roaddd program is funded entirely by the westchester county stop-dwi program, which receives money from the fines of convicted drunk drivers. Evaluations have found that the program is extremely effective in reducing unhealthy behaviors regarding alcohol, drug use and driving.

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 2019 to 2020, from $418k to $1.4M (+226%).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base held at 2 funders, grant income rose $15k → $41k.
1 of 7 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 42% 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 STUDENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES CORPORATION’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
STUDENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES CORPORATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 42% of grant income and the top three 86%; half comes from just 2 funders.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 2 funders to its left
93% 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 STUDENT ASSISTANCE SERVICES CORPORATION.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 97% · 2018 69% · 2019 91% · 2020 62% · 2021 79% · 2022 100% · 2023 98% — broadly stable.

In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $125k 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. 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.
