AIDS Foundation of Chicago meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

Since its founding in 1985, AFC has served as the hub of HIV/AIDS services in Illinois, and has grown to be a local and national leader in the fight against HIV/AIDS. We collaborate with community organizations to develop and improve HIV/AIDS services; fund and coordinate prevention, care, and advocacy projects, and champion effective, compassionate HIV/AIDS policy. AFC leads a variety of prevention, care, and advocacy programs that impact thousands of individuals living with or affected by HIV/AIDS in the Chicago metropolitan area every year. AFC's HIV prevention initiatives include targeted outreach to communities at high risk for HIV infection, strenghthened partnerships with faith-based organizations and local businesses, and dissemination of prevention information to the public. The initiatives provide testing, education, and linkage to care. Our care programs include AFC's case management system, which provides each client with a single case manager who works closely with him or her to access primary healthcare and social services to meet their specific needs. In addition, our Hospital to Housing program recruits chronically ill, homeless individuals from Stroger and Mt. Sinai Hospitals, provides immediate crisis intervention, emergency services, screening, and needs assessment, and then places clients in long-term housing with wraparound case management and other supportive services. Finally, through expanded media communications, marketing, and community education, AFC continues to inform opinion leaders, community members, and the media about current and emerging HIV/AIDS issues and improves individual and systemic responses to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
