What Women in Motion Inc does

Women in Motion, Inc. (WIM) is an Indianapolis, Indiana-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2003 by Pamela Goodwin, who continues to serve as Founder and Executive Director. Its stated mission, 'Education is Prevention,' is operationalized through community-based HIV/AIDS education and prevention services delivered free of charge to participants. The organization primarily targets women of color, but states that anyone can benefit from its services, and extends outreach into shelters, churches, halfway houses, correctional facilities, and transitional housing settings across the Indianapolis metropolitan area and Scott County, Indiana.

The core service portfolio consists of HIV/AIDS prevention and education programs, free confidential HIV testing with one-minute result turnaround, informational resources covering PrEP, PEP, treatment-as-prevention, and co-factors such as substance abuse, domestic violence, obesity, and other sexually transmitted infections. Adjunct programming includes the monthly 'Let's Talk' discussion group (sponsored by Citizens Energy Group), a monthly Meditation & Journaling Group, and community events such as World AIDS Day, National HIV Testing Day, and collaborative Recovery Gathering events. The organization maintains 11 employees and an outreach office co-located with New Circle Church in Indianapolis.

WIM operates as a donation-funded nonprofit, accepting monetary contributions through the Zeffy platform and mailed checks, as well as in-kind donations via its Pay It Forward Program. Its funding and programming base is supported by a network of public-sector partners (Indiana State Department of Health, Marion County Health Department, Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program), corporate and foundation sponsors (Citizens Energy Group, Delta Dental Foundation, The Health Foundation), a transit partner (IndyGo), and content collaborators (Greater Than HIV). The organization has no proprietary technology platform, mobile app, or API; its digital footprint is limited to a Squarespace-hosted website and social media presence.
