Beneficiary Agencies We Fund

The Beneficiary Committee consists of 12 voluntary community citizens, leaders and corporate professionals who review the applications of the RFP (Request for Proposals) for the 2006 year. 

The committee volunteers pour over hundreds of pages and documents from the agencies to review the funding proposals.  In addition, the committee conducts site visits of the agencies and audits for any funding received the previous year.  Recommended agencies to be funded are sent to the Board of Directors for approval by May.  Historically, AIDS Walk has rarely ever turned away an agency that needed the funding.  It is our mission that we work to raise the funds that these agencies so desperately need.

How we score these agencies:

Agencies are scored on a 100 basis point system.  Each of the agencies are scored on their own merits and are not compared to other agencies.  The committee primarily reviews the RFPs prior to the Walk and recommends the programs to be funded to the Board.  The committee looks at the effectiveness of the proposed program, ability of the agency to deliver the program, sources of additional funds for the proposed program, the scope of the program, measurability and accountability processes for the program, prior audited financial statements of funds used from previous year's AIDS Walk funds, ability of the agency to help raise funds and the active participation plans for AIDS Walk.

Agencies are also additionally required to raise a minimum of one-third of their funding request.  This is a partnership program and requires the entire community to help raise funds for all agencies serving the HIV/AIDS community.  AIDS Walk Long Beach is the only major Southern California AIDS Walk that does not "self-fund" and helps to fund more than the amount raised by the beneficiary agency.  Because AIDS Walk Long Beach funds more than what the agency raises, we require the agencies to raise a minimum of one-third of their requests to receive funding.
