Overview
Mission
LIFEbeat, Inc., was formed to provide assistance to people living with AIDS and HIV and to help educate people on HIV prevention. Lifebeat, Music Fights HIV/AIDS, founded in 1992, is a leading national nonprofit dedicated to educating Americas youth (13-24) about HIV/AIDS prevention. Lifebeat mobilizes the talents and resources of the music industry to deliver HIV/AIDS and STDs awareness messages through broadcast, print, social and digital media, and distributes educational literature and condoms at concert venues, music festivals, clubs and other events. Lifebeat also provides quality of life services and support, such as musical performances, for people living with HIV/AIDS and their families.
What it reported doing in 2024
LIFEbeat engages in celebrities and entertainers in promoting sexual health awareness. Coordinating between hundreds of the nation's top music venues and local community health nonprofits, LIFEbeat brought sexual health volunteers out to concerts across the United States to speak with fans about their sexual safety. Volunteers distributed thousands of condoms and other safe sex materials, and engaged countless at-risk music fans in vital conversations about gender, sexuality, consent, prevention and support. Additionally, hundreds of thousands more were engaged in digital communication and unique promotional initiatives through celebrity partnerships.In 2024, LIFEBeat is in the process of dissolution, and subject to New York's Attorney General, its programs will continue under the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.In 2024, LIFEBeat will be dissolved and its programs will continue under the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
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
- 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
SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
