Overview

Mission

AIDS network leads the fight against HIV/AIDS by providing integrated prevention, health, and support services to the communities of southern Wisconsin.

What it reported doing in 2014

AIDS network's prevention initiatives focus on reducing the behaviors associated with HIV and hepatitis c transmission through education and providing the facts about how HIV/hcv is transmitted with public and individual outreach and education; distribution of safer sex supplies; HIV/hepatitis c counseling, testing, and referral; sexually transmitted infection counseling and referral; alcohol and other drug addiction referral; prevention focus support groups; and needle exchange. These prevention initiatives aim to reduce barriers to early diagnosis of HIV and sexually transmitted diseases. AIDS network provided prevention services to about 12,000 people through these initiatives. Education and motivating people to make good and conscious choices to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS remains our challenge.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 68% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 97% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
