ACCESS AIDS Care Receives Hampton Roads Community Foundation Grant Award

[February 2010] - ACCESS AIDS Care was thrilled to be one of the four non-profits selected for the 2010 Building Excellence Development Capacity Building Grants from the Hampton Roads Community Foundation. Being selected means that we will receive 18 months of consulting from The Curtis Group and receive one-on-one assistance in designing and enhancing our long-range development programs, such as major gifts, planned giving and Board of Directors development and recruitment.

We are hitting the ground running on this one - our work with The Curtis Group is beginning this month and we'll keep you posted on our progress!
