Mission Statement Our Brothers' Keepers Foundation is a grassroots organization whose sole purpose is to raise money to support programs that provide a wide range of direct services to persons with HIV/AIDS, their families, and loved ones. Comprised of volunteers, the Foundation is incorporated with the New York State Department of State. Our administrative costs are primarily limited to printing and postage expenses. The Foundation raises money by sponsoring social events and by accepting voluntary contributions and memorials. We have made our mission known to various Community-Service Providers in the Greater Capital District. These agencies petition the Foundation for support of specified projects or client service needs, and they are accountable for any funds so awarded. Our requirements of these agencies are as follows: + Funds will directly benefit persons with HIV/AIDS,
their families, and loved ones.
+ The funds provided will remain in the Greater Capital
District.
+ The service being offered will add to the person's
quality of life.
+ The service or program is not available through a
traditional funding stream, such as State Aid. When the Board of Directors approves the grant, the agency or group must submit an expenditure report to the Foundation within 90 days of receiving the grant.
