The Lawrence County Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition has released its donor data for 2024, showcasing both in-kind and monetary contributions from local residents. This initiative is part of their commitment to operate as a fully transparent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Importantly, the coalition has clarified that no funds from community donations were allocated for employee salaries in the 2024 financial report. Instead, all operational costs related to the projects undertaken by the LCSAP Coalition were entirely funded by contributions from the community.
Currently, the salaries of the coalition’s employees are supported through federal and state grants, ensuring that local donations are directed towards community-focused initiatives. At the beginning of 2024, the coalition reported a balance of $29,116.73, which decreased to $19,415.43 by the end of the year. During this period, the coalition received monetary donations totaling $6,314.76, while expenditures amounted to $16,016.06. Additionally, the value of in-kind donations from the community was assessed at an impressive $101,525.
The LCSAP Coalition extends its heartfelt gratitude to the community for their generous contributions, which play a vital role in fostering a safe, healthy, and drug-free environment in Lawrence County.
