Overview

Mission

Empowering and supporting people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS in Maine through integrative care, education, advocacy, and prevention services.

What it reported doing in 2025

Prevention: frannie peabody center's HIV prevention and education programs focus on targeted outreach and recruitment, referrals to testing, linkages to support services and medical care, partner counseling and referral services and low barrier anonymous rapid HIV and hcv testing. Peer support: fpc offers a weekly peer support group facilitated by two fpc case managers that provides a confidential and safe space to learn and process experiences in a supportive environment.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
