Who we support
There are so many amazing organizations already doing incredible work and we want to support them. The hardest part is choosing between all of the wonderful groups out there, but here are some that we currently support along with our own work to advance our mission.

Shatter Proof
Shatterproof's Substance Use Disorder Treatment Task Force has developed the National Principles of Care, a standard for addiction treatment based on proven research. And for the first time ever, 16 leading healthcare payers have agreed to unite around this standard. With this agreement, we're closer than ever to ensuring that every American with a substance use disorder has access to quality, evidence-based treatment.
Shatterproof also takes on federal and state advocacy battles, mobilizing families affected by addiction and providing them with a platform to make their voices heard. Your advocacy support has helped 15 states pass life-saving legislation: broadening access to lifesaving naloxone, strengthening prescription drug monitoring programs, and ensuring prescriber practices align with CDC guidance on opioids.

What began as a bike ride with a group of sober peers in Boulder, Colorado is now a national nonprofit that has reached more than 427,000 people across 50 states through free in-person activities (fitness, socials etc.), on-demand content, and a robust digital community.
