Mission

Drop in space for new and old clients that want to become community leaders and activists. We currently have four different groups that meet up at various locations. During these groups' meetings, we give knowledge on HIV prevention and prep/pep education, we also conduct community outreach. In conducting community outreach, we distrbute condoms, lubricants, female condoms, prep/pep brochures in order to reach the goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic in nyc.

Operating model

Revenue model
Grant-funded. 76% 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

SUPPORTED - 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 expenses are high relative to revenue.
