It provides comprehensive resources for parents and caregivers, law enforcement officials, health care providers, educators and others so that everyone can take a stand and help end this epidemic. The Projects website includes facts about medicine abuse, which includes prescription (Rx) drugs and over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicine. Visitors can learn steps on how to dispose of expired or unused medicine and safeguard the medicine in their home, comprehensive information about the most-abused prescription drugs, as well as how to get help for a loved one. 844350 0 0 Communications 844350 0 0 Alliances 1688700 0 0 5629000 true true false true false false false false false false true true false false false false true false false false true false false false true false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 32 0 true 39 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 17 16 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AL AK AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY ME MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC ND OH OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA WV WI X X GINA SAMSON CFO 2129221560 352 PARK AVENUE SOUTH New York NY 10010 ALLEN ROSENSHINE VICE CHAIRMAN 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MARCIA LEE TAYLOR PRESIDENT & CEO 40.0 0.0 X X 253500 0 21162 SYDNEY K HUNSDALE Secretary & TREASURER 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL WHITE CHAIRMAN 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 ALAN L HOFFMAN DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 DAVID A KATZ DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 KATHLEEN KEEFE DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BILL KOENIGSBERG DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 PHILLIP KWUN DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 ROBERT D LIODICE DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 IBRA MORALES DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MITCHELL S ROSENTHAL DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 R LEE SHAW DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 MARK TATUM DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 PAUL BASCOBERT DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 BRYAN R BELLER DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 TIMOTHY J BROSNAN DIRECTOR (thru 12/22/2016) 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 NANCY H HILL DIRECTOR 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Craig Brown Director (Thru 1/1/2016) 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Herbert D Kleber MD Director (non-voting) 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 David S Versfelt Director (non-voting) 3.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 GINA SAMSON CFO 35.0 0.0 X 140000 0 29434 SEAN CLARKIN EVP, RESEARCH & EXTL RELATIONS 35.0 0.0 X 148625 0 21939 JOHN IRVING SVP, MEDIA DIRECTOR 35.0 0.0 X 156930 0 16391 DENISE YOUNG FARRELL VP, DIR PUBLIC AFFAIRS 35.0 0.0 X 135900 0 14737 KRISTINA ROWE CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER 35.0 0.0 X 147500 0 20503 Teri Christensen SVP, Dir. of State & Local ops 35.0 0.0 X 132538 0 27192 1114993 0 151358 15 false true false Steve Cline's Company LLC 6602 Loch Hill Road BALTIMORE MD 212391644 Outreach 100464 1 1673 588291 730721 2524563 3845248 0 186572 186572 0 0 0 0 0 2754070 2800080 -46010 -46010 -46010 468750 588291 154953 313797 313797 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4299607 454359 X 0 0 0 0 393500 246125 82675 64700 0 2702401 2348772 142007 211622 69842 59429 4926 5487 214037 190705 10879 12453 233316 190940 19475 22901 0 6296 6296 61900 61900 0 0 45783 45783 754948 730232 5322 19394 2884 2798 86 123514 107211 6325 9978 274440 204453 14038 55949 0 601538 483812 58863 58863 122108 120238 1870 0 13745 11556 2189 4499 4499 0 68866 55092 6887 6887 35670 28536 3567 3567 CREATIVE PRODUCTION COSTS 608367 607599 768 MEDIA MONITORING 76350 76350 RESEARCH COSTS 65349 65349 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 40225 33424 4819 1982 83976 66379 2267 15330 6603554 5629000 480528 494026 1515498 960618 0 0 1529303 566805 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 73845 69848 812952 482043 393980 330909 7787194 7217880 1667477 1694764 0 0 0 0 0 0 12967297 10840824 338321 184405 0 0 578796 581534 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 917117 765939 X 10985597 9602733 1064583 472152 0 0 12050180 10074885 12967297 10840824 -2303947 328652 X false true X true false X 6463222 6784206 6592835 6367961 3845248 30053472 0 0 6463222 6784206 6592835 6367961 3845248 30053472 6900338 23153134 295086 235462 273419 256662 186572 1247201 0 702500 671000 480500 508750 468750 2831500 34132173 0.67834 0.69021 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 32884 32884 6570670 6603554 480178 120045 601096 555856 503143 480178 2140273 3210410 35980 32884 68864 150274 138964 125786 120045 535069 802604 0 0 330734 143140 187594 108067 93413 14654 374151 245490 128661 330909 HEDGE FUNDS 1694764 F 1694764 105623028 328652 100839816 154953 101323421 4299607 4299607 107598323 100839816 154953 100994769 6603554 6603554 Schedule D, Part XI & Part XII, Line 2d RECONCILIATION OF REVENUE AND EXPENSES SPECIAL EVENTS FUNDRAISING COSTS............$154,953.

Finally, we build healthy communities, advocating for greater understanding and more effective programs to treat the disease of addiction. As a national nonprofit, we depend on donations from individuals, corporations, foundations and the public sector and are thankful to SAG-AFTRA and the advertising and media industries for their ongoing generosity. We are proud to receive a Four-Star rating from Charity Navigator, America's largest and most-utilized independent evaluator of charities, as well as a National Accredited Charity Seal from The Better Business Bureaus Wise Giving Alliance.

We offer web-based educational tools, as well as a Toll-Free Helpline and other resources that translate the science of drug use and addiction, providing parents with direct support to cope with teen substance use. We rely on the media to donate time and space and on advertising agencies to volunteer their resources for advertising campaigns. In turn, we secure approximately $100 million in donated national and local media space from our dedicated media partners. Through our public education initiatives, our public service announcements make up the largest single-issue public service campaign in advertising history. Our website, drugfree.org had more than 5 million unique visitors in 2016. Alliances: The Alliance Program is comprised of state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations operating in 19 states/cities. These partners are the foundation of locally based education projects. This integrated network is continually finding new ways to do their work and new partners to enlist in their ongoing efforts to address emerging drug threats and to connect the public with local resources. These alliances are further supported by our staff who travel the nation providing technical assistance, supporting media solicitation, acting as spokespersons and striving to make certain that the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids continues to evolve to better support community needs.
