Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

MADD activists work to strengthen existing drunk driving laws and to adopt new legislation. Since MADD was founded, thousands of anti-drunk driving and underage drinking laws have been passed nationwide, including the federal 21 Minimum Drinking Age law and Zero Tolerance laws. Bereaved families and injured survivors can call MADD's 24-hour victim help line to reach a victim advocate, who can provide free literature, emotional support, guidance through the criminal justice system, information on how to apply for Crime Victims’ Compensation funds and a list of referrals for professional counselors, civil attorneys and clergy who are skilled at working with crash victims. MADD continues to work with young people on its programs designed to educate youth, parents and community leaders about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking. Some ($5,241,408 or 17%) of MADD's community program expenses were carried out through educational materials and other activities conducted in conjunction with fund raising appeals.
