All AIDS Walk funds are given to local Northern Nevada AIDS Service
Organizations
These organizations fill out a Recipient Application that is scored based
on the following three criteria by a panel of independent judges:
1 Effectiveness of the organization in the community
2. The agency’s use of funds
3. Participation
in the success of the Reno AIDS Walk
Then each application is reviewed by each judge independently in addition
to being reviewed amongst each other. The only involvement the Reno
AIDS Walk has in the process is providing judges with the past-meeting
attendee list and a list of participants and events in which each agency was
involved.
Each agency is then rated on a point system with a total of 300 points
available from each judge. The three top-scoring agencies are awarded
a percentage of funds weighted on these points. This year, the judges
will conduct personal interviews with members from each agency so they can
ask additional questions to assist in better scoring practices.
Applications are due on May 31st for current year recipients.

or faxed to (877) 825-AIDS.

both teens and adults numerous opportunities to make safer and healthier

ACCEPT - Advancing Community Cultivation & Enhancing Progressive Transformations)
Our mission is to provide culturally-specific education and training to
promulgate HIV/AIDS/STD and Substance Abuse prevention and exposing the
myths and risky behaviors within the community, while providing a social
forum for African-American churches, community organizations, support groups
and people with HIV/AIDS. While our mission embraces all cultures, African Americans, the fastest growing
at-risk population, are our primary.
Northern Nevada outreach Team (NNOT)
The Northern Nevada Outreach Team is the result of collaborative efforts which began in 1997 when several community
based organizations mobilized in an effort to actively prevent HIV and sexually transmitted diseases in Northern Nevada. NNOT strives
for prevention and awareness of HIV and STDs in our community. This is made possible by educational services, prevention materials,
skill building, harm and risk reduction and opportunities for the community to test for HIV and STDs in non-traditional venues.
