The American Institute of Philanthropy rated MADD a “D” in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and the first half of 2009. In all fairness, they now (July, 2009) rate them a "C"

A former MADD chapter president, Sandy Kaufman, says of the organization, “it’s a big corporation” and insists that “MADD has become big bucks.”
