AIDS Resource Foundation for Children

What AIDS Resource Foundation for Children does

AIDS Resource Foundation for Children (ARFC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1985 and headquartered at 77 Academy Street, Newark, NJ, with 51-100 employees and offices in Newark, East Orange, and Atlantic City. The organization delivers comprehensive housing and social services to individuals, families, and children affected by HIV/AIDS in New Jersey, operating a portfolio of seven programs: St. Clare's Social Services (case management, substance abuse counseling, mental health referrals, food pantry), St. Clare's Housing Program (86 housing units including a 46-unit Permanent Scattered Site program and 40 ARFC-owned units with site-based rental subsidies), the NJ HIV Housing Collaborative (state-wide 24/7 emergency housing hotline), Project Nest (transitional housing for HIV+ gay/bisexual youth), The Salon (trauma-informed transitional housing for women at the intersection of HIV and domestic violence), The Dear Rosa Project (oral history and community-building initiative), and the Academy Street Firehouse after-school program. ARFC is the largest HIV/AIDS housing provider in New Jersey, operates the only Licensed Pediatric Transitional Care home in the state, and claims several "firsts" including the first U.S. home for HIV-positive babies and the first U.S. afterschool program for HIV/AIDS-affected youth.

The organization has no proprietary technology products; its service delivery model is human-intensive, relying on case managers, program managers, trauma-informed care staff, and a 24/7 hotline, with technology limited to a Squarespace-hosted website (aidsresource.org), PayPal donation integration, and email/social media community outreach. Go-to-market is referral-based intake (from medical providers, community organizations, and self-referrals) and event-driven emergency housing access via the state-wide hotline, with no direct sales motion to enterprise customers.

The revenue model is donations-and-grants-based: ARFC provides services free of charge to qualifying individuals and families, with operating funding derived from individual monetary donations (one-time and recurring via PayPal, including honor/memory tributes), vehicle donations (cars, trucks, boats), volunteer contributions, and likely government and foundation grants (no financial details or Form 990 data are publicly disclosed). There are no service fees, no pricing tiers, and no commercial revenue streams. The customer base is exclusively beneficiary-side (people living with HIV/AIDS and their families in New Jersey) rather than paying customers, and the distribution channels target government as the funder-buyer for direct program delivery and emergency housing hotline operations.
