Aid for AIDS of Nevada

What Aid for AIDS of Nevada does

Aid for AIDS of Nevada (AFAN) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit community-based AIDS service organization founded in 1984 and headquartered at 1830 E Sahara Ave, Suite 210, Las Vegas. It is the oldest and largest AIDS service organization in the state of Nevada, providing support and advocacy for adults and children living with and affected by HIV/AIDS across southern Nevada. AFAN's service portfolio is anchored by Ryan White Part A and Part B medical case management — including eligibility, enrollment, ADAP, insurance premium assistance, and referrals to community partners — and is supported by a stack of complementary client services: free HIV rapid testing via the Scott Washburn Testing Center (finger-prick blood sample, results in under 20 minutes), emergency financial assistance, food and nutritional services with registered-dietitian planning, medical transportation (bus pass, taxi, Uber/Lyft), prevention education seminars by trained specialists, and the Mothers, Sisters, & Daughters psychosocial wellness group.

AFAN also operates tangible housing assets through the Esperanza Project — Casa de Esperanza (a 12-resident group home) and Jardin de Esperanza (eight one-bedroom cottages) — alongside the Secure Homes & Parent & Me subsidized rental assistance program, giving the organization a vertically integrated service model unusual among community AIDS non-profits. The Esperanza Project and Casa de Esperanza are operated on a dedicated AFAN property in Las Vegas.

AFAN's revenue model is grant- and donation-funded rather than transactional: services are delivered at no cost to eligible clients, with operating revenue sourced from Ryan White Part A and Part B federal pass-through grants, individual donations (online, in-person, phone, mail), corporate sponsorships through a formalized tiered Event Sponsorship Program, and peer-to-peer fundraising led by the annual AIDS Walk Las Vegas. The organization maintains referral and resource partnerships with the Southern Nevada Health District, AHF, Golden Rainbow, Community Counseling Center, Help of Southern Nevada, The Center, St. Therese, Penn & Teller (donor and ribbon-cutting partner for the 2019 office opening), Elton John AIDS Foundation, amfAR, CDC, and UNAIDS. No revenue figures are disclosed in source materials; headcount is reported as 11-50 employees.
