NCPG PROVIDES THE NATIONAL PROBLEM GAMBLING HELPLINE NETWORK (1-800-522-4700), MAKING LOCAL HELP FOR PROBLEM GAMBLING JUST ONE CALL AWAY ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. THE HELPLINE RECEIVES HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CALLS EACH YEAR, INSTANTLY ROUTED TO ONE OF 27 STATE OR REGIONAL CALL CENTERS, WHICH ARE OPERATED BY NCPG AFFILIATES, STATE AGENCIES, AND/OR VENDORS. THE NCPG HELPLINE IS THE ONLY SUCH '911' SERVICE IN THE U.S. FOR PEOPLE DEALING WITH GAMBLING PROBLEMS (INCLUDING FAMILY AND LOVED ONES) AND IS THE ONLY ACCESS TO HELP IN MANY STATES. THIS IS IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY WHERE CASINOS ARE CLUSTERED ON STATE BORDERS, WHERE THE STATE THAT AUTHORIZED THE CASINO MAY PROVIDE SERVICES FOR ITS OWN RESIDENTS, BUT THE NEIGHBORING STATE DOESN'T PROVIDE ANY SERVICES FOR ITS RESIDENTS. NCPG IS THE ONLY NATION-WIDE PROVIDER OF SERVICES AND TRAINING TO FACILITATE ACCESS AND TREATMENT FOR GAMBLING PROBLEMS. WE ALSO PROVIDE EXPANDED HELPLINE SERVICES VIA TEXTING AND ONLINE CHAT IN ALL 50 STATES, UTILIZING THE MOBILE DEVICES THAT ARE NOW SO POPULAR BOTH FOR COMMUNICATIONS AND MOBILE GAMBLING, ESPECIALLY AMONG YOUNGER PEOPLE. SOME STATE AGENCIES OR AFFILIATES REIMBURSE NCPG FOR SOME OF THESE COSTS, BUT MOST DO NOT, AND NCPG RECEIVES NO FEDERAL FUNDING. THIS NATIONWIDE SERVICE IS COMPLETELY FUNDED BY NCPG'S MEMBERS AND DONORS, INCLUDING THOSE THAT ARE PART OF OUR PRESIDENTS CIRCLE.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$119.3K
