“In today’s day and age, we have found that more people will give to their friends, family members, and peers than to causes themselves."

"More than half the money we raise every year goes toward more than 450 AIDS and family service organizations in all 50 states. In total last year we awarded about $10.6 million in grants. That’s ensuring folks are receiving life saving medications, health care, nutritious meals, emergency financial assistance, counseling, all of those things that service organizations provide on a day to day basis to the most vulnerable among us.”

"So many potential donors are lost when directed to a new webpage, and we wanted to remove as many barriers as possible. We now have an embedded donation form on our homepage and plan to add them on more web pages in the future since we’ve seen such positive results so far with first-time donors."

"We were somewhat surprised by what people did. They began to stir this movement and mostly it was around water. I think people understood that there was a lot we could do to make a difference on that side.”

“We’re bringing in dollars we never had. We started with small goals and kept hitting them."
