Overview

Mission

To advance effective std prevention programs and services in every community across the country. Ncsd does this as the voice of our membership. We provide leadership, build capacity, convene partners, and advocate.

What it reported doing in 2024

Stop stdssupport technical assistance for program, policy, and communications to prevent stds (stop stds): support std programs in the following ways: 1) shifting public health and health care landscape by leading strategic communications and national partnership development. 2) enhance communication efforts across a complex ecosystem that includes state and national std programs, public stakeholders, and national partners. 3) advance policy education initiatives through the creation of educational materials, training for state and local health department staff, development of policy-focused partnerships, and outreach to policymakers. 4) design, implement, and evaluate leadership training for std/HIV public health directors, supporting leadership growth through targeted knowledge and skill-building initiatives.

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. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
