2023 Impact Report to Proof Alliance Donors

Since 1998, we’ve delivered hands-on hope to those with an FASD and awareness and education to pregnant individuals.

The proof is unchallenged; prenatal alcohol exposure can lead to lifelong physical and mental disabilities. We at Proof Alliance are undaunted in our mission to help these individuals and their families thrive. We partner, collaborate and advocate for greater funding of services, further development of awareness, and an FASD-informed future.  Your support is proof that better is possible.

The leadership team at Proof Alliance expanded in 2023, as Executive Director Mollie O’Brien brought on Greg Giles as Director of Development and Stacey Holland as Director of Finance. Marissa Lang was promoted to a newly formed role on the leadership team, Director of Programs and Public Policy. Kendra Gludt continues to serve as Director of National Programs.

Of course, the work you support isn’t just about the numbers. It’s about those babies, toddlers, teens, parents, families and communities.

Here’s what they have to say about how you’ve helped them: 

• “As a caregiver of a child with an FASD, life is hard. When it gets really hard, I know I can call Proof Alliance, and that makes life just a little bit easier.” 
• “When my son joined a youth support group at Proof Alliance, it gave him the chance to get to know other kids just like him. It  showed him that he was part of a community, which is so valuable.” 
• “Thank you so much, Proof Alliance! I didn’t know what I was going to do until I called you and found the support and information I needed.”
• “The speaker from Proof Alliance was awesome. That was what I needed to hear. She validated my thoughts on mental health and trauma!”
• “The young adult panelists are amazing! I’ve not had the opportunity to hear from experts with lived experience in other trainings. The advocates’ ability to articulate their lived experiences was very helpful.”
