Recovery Movement Consulting 2025 Year in Review: $2.85M+ Secured and Expanding National Impact

A Year of Growth, Impact, and Resilience

2025 marked the most impactful year to date for Recovery Movement Consulting (RMC). From securing millions in grant funding to expanding digital infrastructure for recovery organizations, this year reflected both the strength of the recovery movement and the growing need for strategic, sustainable support.

We are deeply grateful to the organizations and leaders who trust us to support their work. Every grant secured, every website launched, and every strategy developed ultimately supports one goal: expanding access to recovery and behavioral health services across the country.

Navigating a Changing Behavioral Health Funding Landscape

Despite significant federal funding reductions—particularly from SAMHSA—2025 revealed something powerful. Local communities, private foundations, and state-level funders stepped forward in meaningful ways to fill critical gaps.

This shift reinforced what we already know:recovery services are essential, and communities are willing to invest in them.

Expanding Digital Impact: 16 Websites Launched

In today’s funding environment, digital presence plays a critical role in securing funding and building trust.

In 2025, RMC designed and launched 16 websites for recovery-focused organizations. Each site was built to:

• Clearly communicate mission and impact

• Support fundraising and grant readiness

• Improve accessibility and engagement

• Deliver recovery-centered, stigma-reducing messaging

• Strengthen credibility with funders and partners

These websites serve as more than marketing tools—they are entry points to services, support, and connection.

Spotlight: Supporting CCAR Training

We are especially proud to support CCAR Training, the global leader in recovery coach training.

Our work includes:

• New website strategy, development and launch. Check it out at: https://addictionrecoverytraining.org/

• Social media strategy and content planning

• Digital growth focused on measurable ROI

Through this partnership, we are helping expand the reach of recovery coach training and elevate recovery-positive messaging on a national scale.

• Brand positioning

This work helps organizations:

• Increase visibility

• Strengthen engagement

• Demonstrate impact to funders

• Shift public perception around recovery

Strong storytelling is not optional—it is essential to funding, advocacy, and long-term sustainability.

Supporting Nonprofit Formation & Infrastructure

In addition to grant writing and funding strategy, Recovery Movement Consulting supported organizations in establishing and strengthening their nonprofit foundations in 2025. This included guidance on 501(c)(3) formation, state registrations, and organizational infrastructure development, ensuring clients were positioned to access funding, build credibility, and operate sustainably from the start.

A Message from RMC Founder, Shannon Egan

“2025 was our biggest and most impactful year yet at Recovery Movement Consulting. I want to begin by expressing deep gratitude to our clients and partners who trust us to support their missions. Your work on the front lines of recovery changes lives every day, and it is an honor to stand beside you.

Despite federal funding cuts, we saw communities step up in powerful ways. That shift was both encouraging and inspiring.

This year also marked internal growth for RMC as we welcomed new consultants to our team, expanding our ability to serve organizations nationwide.

As we look ahead to 2026, we remain committed to helping recovery organizations secure the resources they need to serve people with dignity and compassion.”

— Shannon Egan
