What Sponsors' $$ Supports

Here are some examples of what donated funds can do:

$25 - Covers the cost of 439 condoms for distribution. CAP distributes condoms to CAP clients, through Pivot, in five local colleges and universities, at 17 bars and nightclubs in the Portland area, and through Sisters of the Road Cafe.

$50 - Covers the honorarium for one member of CAP Speaker’s Bureau to go into the community and speak. The Speaker’s Bureau is a program in which HIV+ men and women educate the community on HIV from a personal perspective.

$100 - Covers the cost of one HIV test at Pivot (formerly Men’s Wellness Center). This includes working with an HIV test counselor to explore how to protect themselves and their partners, and to connect to important HIV care and support services.

$250 - Sends two HIV affected or infected people to a school or an organization for a two-hour presentation on HIV. Includes brochures, educational resources, and staff follow up.

$500 - Supplies over 40 rapid HIV testing kits. Each test allows one person to learn their HIV status within 20 minutes of being tested.
