The agency always needs to raise at least $35,000 in private funds every year to maintain the current level of services. Private donations, along with other fundraisers, will help us towards reaching that goal. We seek to expand and to improve services for clients, to promote HIV/AIDS awareness, and to develop agency publicity, none of which can be done without raising more money to support the agency. |
