IPS helps community partners prevent problems by focusing on the community conditions (the social determinants of health) that negatively influence population-level health outcomes.IPS vision is safe, secure, vibrant, and healthy communities where everyone can thrive. The mission of IPS is to work alongside communities to build power, challenge systems of injustice, protect health, and improve quality of life. IPS accomplishes this by providing community partners and youth with training, technical assistance, and tools to impact public health, public safety, equity, and social justice through systems change.IPS corporate office is in San Diego, California and we have four additional offices located throughout Southe false false 3179785 Alcohol and Drug Prevention:IPS provides community-based, population-level, environmental prevention services related to alcohol, tobacco and other drugs in three counties and more than a dozen cities across Southern California. Through community-driven policy change at institutional and municipal levels, IPS strives to reduce underage and binge drinking and substance use disorders, as well as eliminate exposure to second-hand smoke in multi-unit housing complexes and in open areas such as parks, beaches, and festivals. The goal is to create lasting social, cultural, physical, legal, and/or political changes in communities with a focus on policies, systems, and environmental factors that will prevent and reduce ATOD problems. 387452 Youth Leadership DevelopmentIPS facilitates Youth in Action, a coalition of immigrant youth ages 16-20 disproportionately impacted by the War on Drugs, and a #SanDiegoVibes campaign created for youth by youth. Youth are trained in leadership, Youth-led Participatory Action Research, and advocacy. They explore historical divestment in their communities and select and champion policy, systems, and environmental changes to create more equitable neighborhoods. In addition, IPS enhances behavioral health literacy, reduces stigma, and promotes help-seeking behavior in the Latine community of San Diego County's Border Region. Rooted in Social Justice Youth Development, our approach centers on the co-creation of a digital mental health platform that integrates youth-crafted mental health contentvisuals, storytelling, music, and creative arts. We are establishing a culturally resonant and scalable online community for Latin youth and a blueprint for positive change in mental health education and support. 275408 Health EquityTo support health equity and reduce health disparities, IPS is part of a California Statewide Trusted Messenger Network that builds trust with communities through on-the-ground engagement. IPS also advances health equity in communities to prevent behavioral health disparities in underage drinking rates, substance use disorders, and death related to opioid and meth use. By reflecting the language and culture of the communities we serve, IPS has authentic community interactions to provide accurate information and resources on critical issues. Health and behavioral health problems are more common in certain communities based on historical divestment, socio-economic status, and other demographic characteristics. Therefore, the program focuses on making community conditions more equitable so all communities can thrive. 3842645 true true false false false false false false false false false false false true true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false true 23 0 false 52 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 7 7 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X BRENDA SIMMONS 6194769100 8885 RIO SAN DIEGO DRIVE STE 117 SAN DIEGO CA 92108 Brenda Simmons CEO 40.00 0.00 X 146352 0 59030 TERRI L HOWEY COO 40.00 0.00 X 134452 0 45990 SARAH BLANCH CSO 40.00 0.00 109598 0 48788 ERIC COLLINS VP PROGRAMS 40.00 0.00 105737 0 47880 Marilyn Wexler Chairperson 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dana Sherrod Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 SAM BECKNEL Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Richard Yoast President 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SARA COOLEY BROSCHART Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Vicki Luquette Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Kathy Smith-Wenning Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 496139 201688 4 false true false Marian Novak 13753 Recuerdo Drive Del Mar CA 92014 MANAGEMENT/CONSULTING 150000 TMC Direct 5694 Mission Center Road San Diego CA 92108 PRINTING SERVICES 138992 PBO Advisory Group 3655 NOBEL DRIVE SUITE 520 SAN DIEGO CA 92122 ACCOUNTING SERVICES 100136 3 4592098 280196 4872294 0 4857 4857 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 751 751 751 4877902 751 4857 0 0 0 0 385824 289368 96456 0 2189556 1952169 237387 0 579456 505909 73547 217090 187944 29146 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 21306 18919 2387 0 0 0 338083 251595 86488 230631 178061 52570 0 0 0 0 0 22742 20087 2655 CONTRACTED SERVICES 424596 265298 159298 COMMUNICATIONS 56266 49490 6776 EQUIPMENT 44801 39306 5495 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 39942 22822 17120 95433 61677 33756 4645726 3842645 803081 0 78481 15106 462765 1397341 1293256 873121 0 0 0 0 0 49653 42236 0 0 0 0 0 1064160 921211 2948315 3249015 988348 911118 174194 702068 250000 1043421 911301 2455963 2524487 X 492352 724528 492352 724528 2948315 3249015 232176 X false true X false true true X 3359538 3310451 3621334 4718228 4872294 19881845 0 0 3359538 3310451 3621334 4718228 4872294 19881845 0 19881845 9074 97 151 2123 4857 16302 0 22405 16772 1666 1059 751 42653 19940800 0.99700 0.99660 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RIGHT OF USE ASSET 886791 SECURITY DEPOSIT 34420 921211 OPERATING LEASE LIABILITY 911301 911301 X 4877902 4877902 4877902 4645726 4645726 4645726 Part X : FIN48 Footnote IPS is a nonprofit organization and is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
