Historical Ratings
Charity Navigator's ratings previously did not consider Leadership & Adaptability, Culture & Community, or Impact & Measurement. The historic rating mainly reflects a version of today’s Accountability and Finance score. More information on our previous rating methodologies can be found on our rating methodology page.
Rating histories are available for a growing number of rated organizations. Check back later to see if this organization has a rating history!
Vegas Stronger cannot currently be evaluated by our Accountability & Finance methodology due to only having 2 years of electronically-filed IRS Form 990 data.
To ensure year-to-year consistency the Encompass Rating System's Accountability & Finance beacon analyzes the three-year average of some data provided through the IRS 990.
Charity Navigator currently only has 2 years of consecutive e-filed Forms 990 from the IRS for Vegas Stronger under the EIN: 47-2059555.

Adaptability Statement
30 out of 30 points
The nonprofit has an opportunity to tell the story of how the organization adapted to tremendous external changes in the last year.
We’ve been in existence since 2014 when we began community-related activities such as supporting other nonprofits, recovery groups and organizations, and championing laws: one effecting payments to insurers leaving rehabilitation facilities and one dealing with marketing to patients. In 2017, we started providing drug tests to Mission High School. We began our intensive outpatient program (IOP) in October 2020 with one client and in the past year have increased our census to over 60 clients per month in four IOP groups. We've had to deal with growing pains including hiring team members, developing processes, and scaling systems and projects.
