Where we stand

The results so far for this year have been very encouraging in addition to our record-setting results of AIDS Walk Long Beach. Fundraising for us this year is up significantly as a result improve operations and lower cost of fundraising on events. The improved focus on bottom-line results has helped the foundation meet its long term objectives and short-term needs.

AIDS Walk Long Beach is the primary annual fundraising campaign.  In 2005, the Foundation Board focused on long-term plans to increase fundraising, create new programs, create community collaboration projects with existing and new partners, create paradigm shifts in the HIV/AIDS service community, provide technical assistance to other non-profits, create an endowment program and implement new non-profit sector trends that produce long term results, assets and infrastructures.

The Foundation also placed fundraising goals more in line with likely outcomes.  Though, its predecessor parent organization was often very optimistic in setting high goals, which also looked good in promotional materials, the results often were only 40 to 50% of the goal.

For 2007 fundraising events increased by 50% over last year, generating more public awareness and donations.  Though the 2007 year is not complete the Foundation has been able to fully fund the Beneficiary Committee recommendations on ASO's (AIDS Service Organizations) for 2007 without tapping into reserves or other assets. This is in keeping with our strategic plans for sustainability and program diversification. 

Below is a 3 year comparison against AIDS Walk of previous years.

We are grateful to the citizen of Southern California who came out to support our Walk.  We are confident that 2008, the 20th Anniversary of AIDS Walk Long Beach will bring our best year ever and set records again.  With your help, we can make a difference. Stop AIDS. Keep the Promise - Lead the Change.

Notes on data:

Though there were more registered participants for 2007, total actual on-line donors was down slightly.  This meant that participants were giving more,  the average donor increased their giving substantially and teams were generating more funds collectively than any previous year. In comparison, the 2006 year was down 15% over 2005, due to the post-Katrina effect, though the needs of the beneficiary agencies was up by 50%.
