As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
The AIDS Institutes (TAI) began as a grassroots community mobilization and advocacy effort in Florida in 1985. In 1992, this advocacy network became incorporated as a Florida 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Its mission is to promote action for social change through public policy, research, advocacy, and education. As TAI evolved into a highly respected national organization over the years, it maintains its roots in Florida as the only statewide policy and planning organization dedicated to HIV/AIDS. Over the years, TAI has expanded its vision and scope to include policy offices in Washington, DC, and Tallahassee, Florida. TAIs administrative and program office is located in Tampa. The Tampa office is situated at the University of South Florida, College of Medicine. The breadth of TAIs programs includes: federal policy research, analysis, and advocacy; capacity building and technical assistance; public health research and analysis; education and training; HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis community planning and research; Florida statewide policy and advocacy programs; customized convening and communications. Some TAI specific programs include AIDS Alliance for Women, Infants, Children,…

The following details some of the programs. As part of TAIs Florida Consortium for HIV/AIDS Research (FCHAR) program.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $298k to $848k (+184%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
Government-grant reliance: 2017 15% · 2018 8% · 2019 11% · 2020 4% · 2021 29% · 2022 14% · 2023 29% · 2025 36%. Grants only. Government contracts and fees sit inside program revenue.
100% of The AIDS Institute Inc’s revenue is contributions — more reliant on donations than three-quarters of its peers (72% for the typical peer).

Who funds it, year by year
2017 → 2023: the base narrowed from 6 funders to 3 funders, grant income rose $340k → $363k.
2 of 9 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of The AIDS Institute Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
The AIDS Institute Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 89%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
95% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund The AIDS Institute Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 37% · 2018 88% · 2019 52% · 2020 62% · 2021 100% · 2022 95% · 2023 97% — growing more concentrated.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How long its funders stay
33% of The AIDS Institute Inc's funders are still giving 3 years after their first grant; 78% give in more than one year at all.
Share of funders still giving k years after their first recorded grant, pooled across every acquisition cohort. A funder counts as retained in a year only if it made a grant that year. Measured to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving — a funder cannot be counted as lapsed in a year most filers have not reached.
Where its funders are
The AIDS Institute Inc draws 89% of its grant income from funders outside Florida, across 3 states in all.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $11k arriving through sponsors registered in 2 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
