Overview

Mission

The mission of the renewal projects is to provide retreats and conferences which offer opportunities for people living with HIV/AIDS for respite, interaction with others, education, corporate worship, personal reflection, and renewal in a safe hospitable environment.

What it reported doing in 2016

COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS PROGRAM: Building upon the success of our Transformation Retreats and Livin' It - A Prison Outreach Project, Community Connection will broaden our direct impact on the lives of individuals living with or at risk of acquiring HIV. Targeting Richmond's traditionally underserved communities, the aim of Community Connection includes facilitating ongoing HIV/AIDS awareness and education activities by actively engaging with faith-based institutions and other community-based organizations to promote HIV prevention and the knowledge and understanding necessary to bringing about a more compassionate community-wide response to those living with HIV disease.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.

The verdict

REVIEW - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
