Overview
Mission
The organization serves families of the incarcerated with evidence-based programs providing meaningful visitation, family support, and children's services.
What it reported doing in 2024
Afoi's visitation services include our transportation programs, in cooperation with vadjj and vadoc, which include coordinated transportation and incidental services for visitation by familities and friends of juvenile residents and adult inmates confined in correctional institutions in Virginia. Adoi's visitation services also include our video visitation program, in cooperation with vadoc, which provides a low-cost alternative (no travel, lodging, time-off-work, childcare, meal expenses, etc.) to face-to-face in-person visits for family and friends with an incarcerated loved one. Video visitation also allows for reduction in personnel and security risks necessary for facilities to accomplish visits including contraband and inmate movement, etc. Afoi currently provides video visitation opportunities to all of Virginia's adult correctional centers either remotely from homes worldwide or from one of our visitor centers located throughout the commonwealth (alexandria, bristol, charlottesville, fredericksburg, mechanicsville, norfolk, richmond, and roanoke). Afoi also offers visitation assistance funds for families which van help subsidize the costs associated with prison visitng, either in-person or via video.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Grant-funded. 96% 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. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and expenses are high relative to revenue.
