Mission and programs · 2025

• To educate regulators, policy makers and the public about alcohol, its unique attributes, and the role of alcohol regulation. The Center strives to educate the public about the system that regulates the responsible manufacture, distribution, and sale of alcohol beverages to adults of legal drinking age. Projects include an annual law and policy conference which explores current alcohol laws and challenges and features a wide range of participants such as enforcement officials, legal scholars, and public health advocates as well as all segments and all tiers of the alcohol industry. During the year, the Center hosts alcohol regulation symposiums in the states to expand the educational outreach efforts.

  Expenses $440,657 · Revenue $81,551

• The Center conducts a national survey to learn about American adults' attitudes on alcohol regulation across the country and facilitates research reports focusing on the historical importance and the current enforcement of state alcohol regulations and federal alcohol laws. Each year, the Center sponsors a national essay contest to foster debate, analysis, and examination of state based alcohol regulation. The Center also continues to print copies of Toward Liquor Control, a book which offers historical perspective of today's regulatory structure of the American alcohol system.

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
