The AIDS Committee of Toronto

ACT has a 20-year history of delivering services for people living with HIV - offering education, advocacy and emotional support. ACT not only funds its own programs, but through the Community Partners Fund, provides essential dollars for programs and services to some other AIDS service organizations in Toronto. Its full-time staff is supplemented by more than 1,400 volunteers who donate hours equivalent to an additional 32 full-time positions each year. Over 50% of revenues come from individual and corporate donations, whereas most charities rely on government or foundation support for the majority of fundraising. Fashion Cares supplies 57% of ACT's private fundraising revenue. Nearly 80% of ACT's revenue is spent on service/program delivery.
