Overview

Mission

AIDS Care & Educational Services ("ACES") was committed to improving the quality of life of people living with HIV/AIDS by providing a network of support services for them.

What it reported doing in 2012

ACES developed, adopted, implemented and evaluated a plan of services for its clients as authorized under Part B of the U.S. Ryan White Treatment Modernization Act and in so doing provided for the provision of essential health and support services for families living with HIV/AIDS. These services included case management, dental, mental health, substance abuse, outpatient and primary medical care, transportation, emergency financial assistance, food bank/home delivered meals and provision of information and counseling on living with HIV.

Operating model

Revenue model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent revenue detail to tell how this nonprofit funds its work.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 85% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Revenue has declined or grown slowly and expenses are high relative to revenue.
