2004 Annual Report

FUNDRAISING

Lori Kaufman and National AIDS Marathon Training Program participants

Thanks to people like you, hope continues.

We are deeply grateful for the generosity of the individuals, corporations, foundations, and volunteers who support AFC. Fundraising events and individual and corporate gifts generate critical private support that allows us to expand our public policy and coalition-building work, and sustain our grantmaking program. Our Board of Directors plays an instrumental role in engaging new partners and cultivating current, key relationships. AFC Board Member Lori Kaufman, a 15-year AFC veteran, has co-chaired AFC's annual black-tie gala six times and is doing so again in 2005. Pictured with Lori in the background are National AIDS Marathon Training Program participants at a weekend lakefront training run.

JUNE 2004 Some 1,200 participants register for the National AIDS Marathon Training Program and raise $800,000 for AFC's grantmaking, public education, and policy programs.
