Revenue model

1. Corporate and Individual Sponsorships: Annual sponsorships starting at $1,000 provide recognition at events and in marketing materials, supporting free HIV/STI testing, support groups, and food pantry operations.
2. Donations and Contributions: Individual donations are accepted online via PayPal, by mail, and through Amazon Wishlist. All contributions are tax-deductible (EIN: 56-2158082).
3. Government Grants and Federal Funding: The organization relies on federal and state contracts and grants for a significant portion of revenue. Recent messaging indicates that promised federal funding is in limbo due to changes in government leadership, leading to staff furloughs and program cuts.
4. Event Revenue: Revenue generated from ticketed community events including Drag Bingo nights, the AIDS Walk & 5K Run, and drive-in movie nights.

Product overview

Alliance of AIDS Services - Carolina is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing a comprehensive suite of HIV/AIDS-related services in North Carolina. The organization operates as a single integrated service platform rather than a product company. Core services include HIV/STI Testing & Prevention Services (offering rapid and traditional HIV testing, plus testing for Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, and Hepatitis C), At Home Testing (mail-based HIV testing with virtual counseling via Zoom), Care & Support Services (short-term counseling and medical case management for people living with HIV), and the Taylor-Burroughs Market P.L.A.C.E. food pantry (a USDA-TEFAP distribution center serving PLWH and at-risk populations with food and household supplies, including home delivery via the Nourishment and Encouragement program launched in 2020). Additional services include PrEP and Mpox vaccine referrals, comprehensive education and training workshops, support groups, and community outreach. The organization also raises funds through events like the annual AIDS Walk & 5K Run and Drag Bingo fundraisers, as well as a corporate sponsorship program.

Regional players

• Carolina EmPOWERment: North Carolina-based HIV/AIDS service organization focused on People Living with HIV in the Charlotte region. Direct peer operating in the same disease area and service model (case management, prevention, support) within NC, though in a different metro from AAS-C's Raleigh-Durham base.
• Sage Advocacy & Services for LGBTQ+ Elders: National LGBTQ+ advocacy and services organization with a service mix that overlaps AAS-C's case management and counseling work for marginalized populations. Comparable mission-driven nonprofit model but with broader national reach.

Direct peers

• Triangle Empowerment Center (LGBT Center of Raleigh): LGBTQ+ community center in Raleigh that hosts AAS-C's biweekly testing nights and co-hosts fundraisers. Direct peer in the LGBTQ+ health/services space in the same metro and an existing operational partner of AAS-C.
• AIDS Foundation of Chicago: Mid-sized urban AIDS service organization providing HIV prevention, testing, care coordination, and supportive services in a single metropolitan market. Operates the same integrated ASO service stack as AAS-C (testing, PrEP navigation, housing/food support, advocacy), but at larger scale and in Chicago.
• Whitman-Walker Health: Washington DC-based LGBTQ+ and HIV/AIDS care organization delivering integrated medical, behavioral, and supportive services to PLWH and at-risk populations. Highly comparable integrated care model and target demographics to AAS-C.
• Callen-Lorde Community Health Center: NYC-based community health center specializing in LGBTQ+ and HIV care, offering medical, mental health, and supportive services. Highly comparable integrated LGBTQ+/HIV service model with at-risk population focus.
• Howard Brown Health: Chicago-based LGBTQ+ and HIV-focused community health organization providing primary care, PrEP, behavioral health, and supportive services. Comparable integrated service stack and mission-aligned target population.
• San Francisco AIDS Foundation: Mature urban AIDS service organization offering HIV testing, PrEP, syringe access, behavioral health, and supportive services in San Francisco. Closely comparable integrated ASO model, but with substantially larger budget, donor base, and operating capacity than AAS-C.
• Planned Parenthood South Atlantic: Regional affiliate offering STI testing, PrEP, sexual health education, and reproductive health services across NC and the Southeast. Comparable sexual-health service mix and at-risk target demographics, with overlapping federal-grant exposure.

Broad incumbents

• AIDS United: National HIV/AIDS policy and grant-making organization that funnels federal and philanthropic dollars to community-based ASOs like AAS-C. Comparable mission and serves as a peer/incumbent in the broader ASO ecosystem rather than a direct service competitor.
