Overview
Mission
The mission of the AIDS services coalition is to promote and assure comprehensive information, resources, and services for comfort and to help people living with and affected by the HIV/AIDS virus.
What it reported doing in 2024
Msdh provided testing for 531 people, distributed over 130,000 condoms, and educated over 557 individuals during the year. 186 received emergency financial assistance and over 326 received referral and case management services. Over 2,000 community members received prevention education including college students, church members, and other organization staff.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 95% of the money available for current operations came from government grants.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% 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.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
