General Motors Awards $350,000 Grant to MADD for Underage Substance Use Prevention
General Motors has awarded a $350,000 grant to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) to expand its underage substance use prevention programs and enhance victim services. The funding will support the development of a scalable Train the Trainer model that equips educators and community partners with MADD's evidence-based prevention resources. It also aims to improve online access to these tools, enabling broader outreach across schools and communities. In addition, the grant builds on previous GM Foundation contributions by updating victim services materials for digital platforms, ensuring better accessibility during critical times. In 2025 alone, over 270,000 children, teens, and caregivers participated in MADD's prevention programs. The initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce impaired driving incidents through education and community engagement. MADD has been instrumental in reducing drunk driving deaths since its founding in 1980, having saved nearly half a million lives and supported over one million victims or survivors.
