Mission
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibly leads in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and promotes responsible decision-making regarding beverage alcohol.
Program accomplishments
- Ask, Listen, Learn is a multimedia program available in print and online for parents and middle school age kids. The program is based on research that identifies parents as the leading influence in kids' decisions not to drink. By fostering conversations between parents and kids, youth will learn about the consequences of underage drinking, how alcohol affects growing bodies and minds and how to stand up to peer pressure. Materials for parents (also available in Spanish) help parents with both what to say to their kids about alcohol and how to say it.Expenses $1,119,365 · grants $137,285 · revenue $1,622,237
- Hardcore drunk drivers account for a disproportionate share of drunk driving fatalities on our roads. In an effort to achieve FAAR's mission of eliminating drunk driving, efforts are underway to reduce the fatalities caused by this group of offenders. A law school curriculum has been developed with Suffolk Law School. Judicial publications serve to assist judges in their efforts to adjudicate these complex cases, and FAAR continues to support Harvard Medical School's efforts to create and test the cars assessment tool designed to focus on the mental health issues facing nearly half of these offenders.Expenses $629,643 · grants $77,223 · revenue $912,509
