DAD INC.

What DAD INC. does

DAD Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2020 and headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada. It delivers fatherhood education and coaching services to fathers across the Las Vegas metropolitan area, operating under a federal Administration for Children and Families (ACF) grant (#90ZJ0064) as part of the federal Responsible Fatherhood program framework. Its service catalog includes the Forge Workshop (core fatherhood education), the Reclaim Workshop (for fathers in recovery and reentry), one-on-one coaching, Financial Coaching, and Employment Coaching. Programs are delivered at multiple community sites across Las Vegas and North Las Vegas, with no technology platform component — all services are human-facilitated.

The organization's business model is grant-funded and free-to-participant. Services carry a stated per-participant value of $1,500+, but participants pay nothing; the cost is covered by the federal grant. Distribution is achieved through community partnerships rather than paid acquisition, with referral and co-delivery relationships with Shine A Light (reentry), Freedom House (housing/recovery), and the University of Nevada Reno Extension (North Las Vegas delivery). The organization employs approximately 10 staff.

Strategically, DAD Inc. has been in an expansion phase since 2024, layering new verticals (recovery/reentry via Reclaim Workshop, employment coaching) and new geographies (North Las Vegas) onto its core fatherhood program. The model is fundamentally constrained by its single-funder federal grant structure: operations are entirely dependent on ACF appropriations and grant renewal cycles, with no evident diversified revenue streams, philanthropic endowment, or fee-for-service components. As a result, growth is bounded by federal funding availability rather than market demand.

Direct peers

• Good Dads: Community-based fatherhood nonprofit based in Springfield, Missouri offering group workshops, one-on-one coaching, and parenting education for fathers. Highly comparable direct peer — same community-workshop + coaching model, same target audience of fathers seeking parenting/coparenting support, and similar reliance on local partnerships.
• Fathers Forever: Community fatherhood program offering group workshops and coaching for fathers, often partnering with child welfare and family services agencies. Closely mirrors DAD INC's workshop + coaching model and target audience.

Emerging players

• Connected Fatherhood: Fatherhood-focused nonprofit offering workshops, coaching, and community programming for dads in recovery and reentry. Comparable direct overlap with DAD INC's Reclaim workshop segment, particularly around recovery and rebuilding family relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Healthy Families America: Prevent Child Abuse America network offering home-visiting parent support for new and expecting parents. Comparable as an ACF-funded family-support program model serving similar at-risk caregivers, but broader in target population and home-visiting delivery model.
• Parents as Teachers: National home-visiting and parent-education organization supporting parents of young children with evidence-based curricula. Comparable in that it delivers parent education/coaching to caregivers, though it serves all primary caregivers rather than focusing specifically on fathers.
• National Fatherhood Initiative: National nonprofit that trains and equips fatherhood programs across the U.S. with curricula and resources. Comparable to DAD INC as both focus on fatherhood skill-building workshops, but NFI operates as a national capacity-builder rather than a direct service provider in a single metro.
• The Fatherhood Project at Massachusetts General Hospital: Hospital-affiliated program providing fatherhood groups, counseling, and research-backed programming for dads. Comparable as a fatherhood education provider but operates from within a large healthcare system rather than as an independent nonprofit, and is more research/clinical in orientation.

Others

• SafeNest: Las Vegas-based domestic violence crisis services organization that is itself a DAD INC partner. Comparable as a Clark County family-services nonprofit, but its mission is crisis response rather than fatherhood education.
• National Responsible Fatherhood Clearinghouse: Federal resource hub under ACF that curates evidence-based fatherhood program models and resources for ACF grantees like DAD INC. Comparable as a federally supported fatherhood-services ecosystem participant, though it is an information clearinghouse rather than a direct service provider.
• Crossroads of Southern Nevada: Southern Nevada behavioral health and sober-living provider that co-hosts DAD INC's Reclaim workshops. Comparable as a regional social-services nonprofit, but its core service is substance use treatment rather than fatherhood programming.
