ActionAIDS
serving more now than ever before…
a word from the executive director
Dear Friends for Life,
2007 was an
extraordinary year for
us! We served more
clients than ever before,
expanded our service
portfolio to include HIV counseling and testing
services, expanded collaborative relationships
that has resulted in the growth of our Prison Case
Management program, our volunteer Buddy
program is larger and more energized than
ever, and our Case Managers are now providing
services at over 30 host sites throughout the city
(Health Centers, Hospitals and private physician
offices). We have welcomed new members onto
our Board, and last, but not least, we completed
our strategic plan for the next three years. Now
that is a busy year!
We’re thrilled to have been funded to expand our
Counseling and Testing services! The team is
on the move and using a Social Network model
to identify individuals who are at high risk of HIV
infection and unaware of their HIV status. This
model is based on the successful demonstration
project we participated in with the Centers for
Disease Control several years ago. We have high
expectations of the program!
Our strategic planning process was very
productive. It provided us with the opportunity
to look at organizational assumptions and
underlying beliefs about the services we provide.
We had many very productive discussions at
staff, committee and board meetings. It was
very exciting as each of us became more and
more engaged in this process. It reaffirmed
what a talented and dedicated community we
are! As a result we have re-committed ourselves
to our Mission, Vision and Organizational
Values. We have expanded our values to
include transparency in all departments of
the organization. This has afforded us the
opportunity to set measurable outcomes for
every department that will be reported to the
Board on a regular basis using a “dashboard”
with targets and time frames.
ActionAIDS was privileged to be invited by World
Team tennis and The Elton John AIDS Foundation
as the local beneficiary of Smash Hits 2007!
Elton John and Billie Jean King participated in
the celebrity auction as part of the VIP reception.
The Starr Restaurant group very generously
provided exceptional cuisine for the reception. It
was an evening of celebrities, exceptional food,
and great tennis! The event was a huge success
and was one of the highlights of our fundraising
efforts this year!
All of these wonderful accomplishments are the
result of our community growing in strength,
number, and commitment. Your dedication to the
mission, vision, and values of ActionAIDS make
this work possible. Thank you so much for taking
this journey with us and for your friendship along
the path!
Until it’s over,
Kevin J. Burns, LCSW

Testing & Counseling Program Begins
In 2007 ActionAIDS expanded our service
portfolio to include HIV Testing and Counseling
services. This has allowed us to hire a full time
Prevention Services Coordinator and to grow
our prevention and education staff.
Prison Case Management Expansion
ActionAIDS has been a presence in the
Philadelphia Prison System since 1991. In the
last year we have partnered with Philadelphia
FIGHT and have secured funding that has
expanded our Prison Linkage Program. We
currently have a full time Prison Program
Coordinator and four full time Prison Case
Managers!
Strategic Plan
ActionAIDS Board, staff, volunteers and
consumers contributed to the development
and the first steps in implementing a 3-year
strategic plan. The plan focuses on increasing
transparency, utilizing measurable outcomes
across departments; all with the goal of
supporting the high-quality services provided
by our volunteers and staff.
Dining Out for Life 2007
This year’s dining event saw Subaru of America
come on as the National Host Sponsor for
a 3-year commitment; Food Critic and TV
personality Ted Allen signing on as National
Spokesperson; our web hits tripled to over
42,000 in the months of March and April; and
over $270,000 raised for men, women, and
children living with HIV and AIDS across the
Delaware Valley!
Smash Hits benefits ActionAIDS and the
Elton John AIDS Foundation
Andy Roddick, Lindsay Davenport and Anna
Kournikova joined Elton John and Billie Jean
King at the 15th annual Advanta WTT Smash
Hits at Villanova University in October. A
fabulous reception provided by the Starr
Restaurant Group and silent and live auction
provided entertainment and tremendous funds
for the organizations.

friends for life
awarded to patricia wisch
Each year, ActionAIDS presents its Friends for Life Award to
individuals who have made a significant contribution toward our
mission. This year’s recipient was honored at the annual volunteer
appreciation party at Lights of Liberty on Sunday, November 4.
When Dr. Patricia Wisch
arrived to volunteer
at ActionAIDS twenty
years ago, she was asked to explain on her
volunteer application why she was coming to
us to volunteer. Pat told us at that time, “I want
to be involved in what I think is the major issue
of our time. And I want to do this at a very quiet
level—that is, not as a professional, but just as a
human being.”
For two decades, Pat has contributed in her own
unique way to the needs and stability of many
of our clients and to the needs and stability of
ActionAIDS itself. Becoming a member of the
Board of Directors early on, working on the
Executive Committee of the Board, becoming a
Buddy volunteer and a Buddy Facilitator Team
Leader, training new recruits as a Trainer, serving
as an Ambassador at “Dining Out For Life,”
raising needed contributions, and even “biking”
at an ActionAIDS’ fundraiser, she has participated
in and furthered the mission of ActionAIDS,
so that “no one should face AIDS alone.” Pat’s
decision to become involved in this major issue of
our time was just that: involvement!
Whether it be on a one-to-one level in a Buddy
assignment, or in a leadership role working with
groups of others, Pat has been a model involved
ActionAIDS’ volunteer. We are grateful to her for
her pioneering spirit, dedication and consistent
involvement with clients, staff and hundreds of
other volunteers over these years. ActionAIDS
acknowledges and thanks 2007’s Friend for Life
Award recipient, Pat Wisch, for her involvement
with us as we together fight this most “major
issue of our time.”

Strategic Plan Summary
actionAIDS
As ActionAIDS enters its twenty-first year of
service, with a track record of providing highquality services to the HIV community, we
engaged in our fourth exciting and energizing
strategic planning process (previous plans were
completed in 1989, 1993, and most recently in
2004). Our fourth strategic plan does not change
our Vision or Mission Statement. We remain
committed to the vision that “No one should face
AIDS alone”.
This plan does, however, reflect an evolution in
the way we think about the people we serve, the
services and benefits we seek to deliver, and
the organization we develop to deliver those
services. The thinking process in which we
engaged is helping us refine our overall strategy.
Successful treatments have thankfully turned
HIV into more and more of a manageable,
chronic disease. As a result, AIDS service
organizations need to move out of a crisis mode
of operation and focus more on sustainability of
the work the community needs to be done for
the long haul. We need to develop more effective
organizations that will continually assess and
improve their performance to ensure that our
services are really advancing the mission of
our organizations over time. This evolution
toward building organizational capacity to
adapt to changing conditions is reflected in our
2007-2010 strategic plan. The adaptive or high
performance culture emphasizes a disciplined
approach to looking at what an organization
is trying to accomplish and how it intends to
succeed (intended impact). It’s about outcomes,
accountability, transparency, learning and
innovation. It’s about paying attention to mission
impact and finances. It’s about staying flexible
as conditions change and being proactive. It’s
about keeping our passion for our mission and
vision but enhancing our performance for greater
organizational efficiency and mission impact of
our services for the HIV community.
The overarching goal
of this strategic planning process
was to build on the track record, dedication and expertise within the organization to develop a more
focused set of priorities or strategies. We need more strategic focus in order to:
Know how to direct our limited resources
to make the greatest impact against
our mission and vision. This plan places a
new emphasis on: (1) measurable outcomes,
reflecting our commitment to evaluate services
and organizational support functions for
effectiveness and efficiency; and (2) financial
viability of our total portfolio of services, so that
we may deliver the best mix of critical services
we can financially support.
Continue to be responsive to the changing
dynamics of the epidemic. ActionAIDS’
services will continue to be heavily directed
toward care, but we are now placing increased
emphasis on prevention services to avert HIV
infection. This prevention focus reflects our belief
that we have a responsibility to the community
as a whole (to slow the spread of HIV), as well
as to individual clients (to sustain and enhance
quality of life).
Respond to declining government
funding and a more competitive private
contribution environment. The need for
services keeps expanding, but funding is not
keeping pace.
1 2 3
The 2007-2010 plan focuses on
three critical issues:
Prioritize clients and services. Some at-risk
people are more in need than others. People
who are HIV positive and unaware of their status
are currently underserved by ActionAIDS. Our
portfolio is not as strong in prevention services
as we would like. We are the largest AIDS service
organization in the state and we want to step up
our efforts at advocacy.
Expand and diversify funding. Currently eighty
percent of our funding comes from government
contracts which are become more uncertain with
ever increasing limits. We have 3000+/- donors
each year and the majority are non-repeats.
We want to make ActionAIDS THE private AIDS
dollar destination in Philadelphia.
Develop strategic and operating vital signs
(indicators and outcomes). We want to plan,
manage and govern the agency in a more
focused and transparent way. We want to
identify and use key indicators/outcomes (we
call them our “vital signs”) to better monitor and
enable progress toward mission and intended
impact, and to ensure our organization continues
to be flexible and adaptive to changes in the
environment.
Many people contributed to this plan, but special thanks goes to the Strategic
Planning Committee for guiding the overall process and taking the lead in
our vision
since our founding in 1986:
no one

our mission
ActionAIDS is a Philadelphia-based organization that, in partnership with
should face AIDS alone. people living with or affected by HIV/AIDS, works to sustain
and enhance quality of life. We provide a range of direct care and
prevention services and take an active and professional approach to
leadership in service, education, and advocacy. Staff, volunteers,
and the board of directors are committed to include and assist
people from our heterogeneous community and are responsive to the
dynamic needs generated by the epidemic.

o Services: We provide a wide array of services, all of which are valuable, but probably not all
equally valuable. Until this planning process began, we did not offer testing and counseling
services to address the needs of those who are HIV positive and unaware of their status. Our
current portfolio is not as strong in prevention services as we would like, and funders are
increasingly interested in prevention. As the largest AIDS service organization in the state, we feel
we should be stepping up our efforts at advocacy.

Rosalyn is a 38 year old African-American woman
who is single-handedly raising two boys, ages 16
and 9. Rosalyn’s diagnosis led to depression and
anxiety attacks which cost her her job. She subsequently had to move in with her mother and
three other adults in a three-bedroom house. Not
only was this living situation stressful for Rosalyn
and her boys, but no one other than her case
manager and her medical providers are aware of
her diagnosis.
Recently ActionAIDS helped Rosalyn find assistance to enable her to move into a three-bedroom
house with her two boys. Rosalyn can enjoy being a mother again. Not only is she now providing
adequate care and shelter to her sons, she has
also been given the opportunity to truly battle her
depression and regain a sense of worth and accomplishment that will hopefully allow her to regain control of her life.
Rosalyn is now attending Support Groups and is
starting to feel ready and strong enough to look
into working again. More importantly, Rosalyn is
becoming more and more comfortable with her
diagnosis and is considering sharing her experience with younger HIV+ women, whom she believes she may be able to help.
Twenty-five year old Melat is from Ethiopia and is here on asylum.
With the assistance of ActionAIDS, she now has her green card
(permanent residency). ActionAIDS has assisted Melat in obtaining her own apartment. For about 3 years, Melat worked two
jobs, which are both physically demanding. Melat transferred to
perinatal case management due to her pregnancy. Melat has
received assistance with medical adherence and management,
housing, food, educational resources, English classes, legal
services in regards to immigration status and emotional support.
Melat has received baby items and financial assistance in purchasing furniture and supplies for her newborn daughter. Due
to language difficulties, her Case Manager also had to advocate
for her on numerous occasions, accompanying her to medical
and housing appointments

Critical Issue #2: Expand and Diversify Funding
Critical Issue #3: Develop Strategic and Operating Vital Signs
Key Facts:
Key Facts:
o 80% of our revenue comes from government sources which are becoming more uncertain with
ever increasing limits
o Information provided to Board members is primarily through committee reports which are not
consistently focused on the issues that matter the most.
o 20% is raised though private sources (individuals, events, United Way, corporations/foundations)
o We have 3,000+/- donors each year and many are non-repeaters
o Management uses a number of vital signs in the day-to-day management of the organization
and sees significant benefit to refining and expanding these metrics.
Need for Change:
o Funders are increasingly interested in organizations that fully document their effectiveness.
o Increased flexibility to continue to respond to changes in priorities and needs of our consumers.
Need for Change:
o Increased giving from individuals (repeat giving and major donors especially)
o Greater transparency of information provided to the Board, funding entities, and the
community, and used by Management to ensure that resources are being deployed in the best
possible way to support the mission and vision of the organization.
• Enhanced event fundraising
• Increased foundation/corporate gifts
• Board and Management need to agree on the critical indicators (vital signs) for finances,
services, operations (especially fundraising, staffing, governance) and results that flow from
the agency’s mission, vision and strategic priorities.
• Increased use of E-commerce
• Establish a branding strategy
ActionAIDS has been a Godsend with both my case
management services and providing me with buddies.
They have always come through when I need them, especially now being in a nursing home.
My case manager helps me out whenever I have a
problem and I appreciate that she calls me back right
away. I also got a buddy who is pretty cool and we have
a good time whenever we go out.

• Board and Management need to use these vital signs in an ongoing way to better monitor
and enable progress toward mission and intended impact, and to ensure the organization is
flexible and adaptable to changes in the environment.
I came to volunteer at ActionAIDS because
of all the help the agency was to my partner
and me, as clients, through case management and buddy services thirteen years ago.
After his death, I began volunteering first as
a mentor and later working with the immediate seating program. Years later, I resumed
receiving buddy services and have now
come full circle by becoming a buddy volunteer myself, hoping that I can be helpful to a
client who themselves might be struggling.
buddy stories
vital signs in governing
As a client, ActionAIDS has been the best AIDS
Service Organization that I have ever been with
in providing me help, support and resources, and
has been tremendous in my life and I wouldn’t
go anywhere else. They have provided me with a
beautiful and loving buddy for the past ten years
who has been there for me every step of the way
as we have the best relationship and I wouldn’t
trade her for anyone in the world
I realized early on that ActionAIDS had found a place
to live for my client, after many years on the streets
and in nursing homes. It was like a dream for her.
She told me that having me as a buddy, too, gave her
the confidence to “reclaim” his life. I really believe
that I am making a true difference in someone’s life
as a volunteer with the agency.
As a buddy, I have seen up close the impact that both a prison case manager and
a buddy have had on someone who has
been incarcerated. I have seen my client go
from worrying about things in his life to finding more direction with the help of his case
manager. Each time we meet, he is always
telling me how grateful he is for the services
he has received from ActionAIDS, and he
has shown me the importance of what being
a buddy is all about.
