Annual Report 2009
Results-Driven, Human-Focused, and Serving Vermonters
I hope you enjoy this wrap-up of another strong year for Vermont CARES. We are proud to report that
our programs continue to serve thousands around the state with critical care services, education, and
free HIV testing. Our long-term goals – to ensure people with HIV are cared for and that new HIV infections are reduced – are increasingly within reach, and you are integral to our shared success.

Here’s what we want you to know (that you might not already) about Vermont CARES:
•
Our programs for people with HIV/AIDS have proven results, and keep people healthy, housed, and
connected to their communities.
•
We are the state’s largest provider of free and anonymous HIV tests, through many offices and sites
around the state.
• We distribute more than 5,000 condoms, female condoms, dental dams, and other safer sex materials each year.
•
Thanks to a great group of supporters, we built the state’s largest AIDS ribbon composed of volunteers last fall!
•
Our programs would not be possible without volunteers who staff testing sites, our syringe exchange, our Board of Directors, and our reception desks.

We work out of our homes, out of shared offices, and as efficiently as possible, so that your donations are spent wisely, efficiently, and with a real focus on human lives. Thank you!
If at any point during the year you have questions about our work, or want to learn more about Vermont
CARES, contact our main offices at 800/649-2437. Any staff or volunteer should be able to answer
questions about who we are and what we do.
With sincere thanks,

When asked whether Vermont CARES helped keep
people with HIV healthier, the results were overwhelming—clients report working with us helps to

Improving Client Health Through Care

Our services program has always been strong in
engaging our clients in addressing their HIV/AIDS
needs, but this past year has led to a heightened
focus on supporting our clients’ overall wellness
and working to adequately meet their health and
basic human needs. This allows us to better assess
our own work through ongoing feedback in client/
case manager meetings, group meetings and focus
groups, and surveys so we can better meet the
health and wellness needs of our clients.

Clients also report that working with Vermont CARES
helps keep their housing more stable, since providing
housing, food, medical support, and basic human
needs is so critical to keeping healthy.
Based on client feedback and our desire to consistently meet and also better predict our clients’
needs in the future, we are demonstrating and refining best practices to meet our clients’ evolving
issues related to poverty, complex mental health
issues (depression, anxiety disorders, substance
use), and their needs for networking and socializing.

Most of our clients live under the poverty line, many
well below it, and are already often accessing public assistance and state programs (already
stretched resources), and are at a greater risk of
not having enough health care coverage, food, or
funds to pay for housing.
All of these issues impact our clients’ ability to consistently maintain their overall health, including, but
not limited to their HIV care. Therefore, we collaborate with clients and their providers in creating care
plans and programs that meet their medical, social,
and mental health needs in order to promote their
success in medication regimes and treating their
HIV/AIDS. In addition, because our approach is holistic and client centered, we are enhancing clients’
feelings of overall wellbeing even while facing the
complex challenges of HIV/AIDS and poverty.

Prevention
Rapid HIV Testing Expands!
Do you know that Vermont CARES is the #1 provider of free, anonymous HIV tests in Vermont?
Through our Rapid HIV Testing program, we conduct over 1000 free tests each year. We hold weekly or
biweekly walk-in testing clinics in Burlington, St. Johnsbury, Rutland, and Montpelier. Regular testing
clinics also take place on campus at the University of Vermont, Green Mountain College, and several
substance abuse recovery programs in the Rutland area.
Rapid HIV tests have been the gold standard in testing since their release in 2003. With these tests, results are available and delivered to clients in just 20 minutes. This accessibility and convenience of one
visit makes taking an HIV test a real option for many people. Here in a rural state like Vermont, the rapid
test is crucially important because transportation to and from clinics can be especially challenging. At
Vermont CARES we are proud to provide excellent, high-quality rapid tests to our communities.
Although choosing to take a rapid HIV test can be difficult, making a conscious decision to know one's
HIV status is incredibly empowering. For people who find out they are not infected, taking a test helps
them reflect on risks and develop ways to continue to stay safe in the future. For people who find out
they are infected with HIV, learning their status allows them the opportunity to get into medical care so
they can stay healthy for many years to come.
A rapid test is a screening test paired with counseling about HIV risk

Volunteers
Volunteers Make Vermont CARES Possible!
We continue to appreciate many outstanding volunteers who
staff our front desk in the Burlington office, help us provide
syringe exchange in St. Johnsbury, serve on our Board of
Directors in Rutland and Chittenden Counties, and support
our HIV testing programs across the state. Without the commitment, passion, and drive of these outstanding and generous individuals, we certainly could not serve as many Vermonters as we do.
Our sincere thanks; we all benefit from your work!
Volunteers help people sign up for the Red Ribbon Rally.
Events and fundraising
Current Fundraising Trends
Events continue to play an important role in our fundraising plan. Events not only bring in substantial and needed
funds but they provide opportunities for the CARES community to gather, socialize, renew friendships, solidify
support of Vermont CARES and reinforce our mission. In
a difficult economic climate, events attract fewer people
and fewer dollars. Nevertheless, thanks to generous donors we were able to raise over $68,000 through events
this year. In fiscal 2010 we will likely add one or two
smaller events along with our traditional ones as we continue to re-evaluate fundraising goals and possibilities.
In recognition of technological and other developments
that influence charitable giving we are paying more attention to cultivating new donors through the internet. This
takes the form of communicating with many supporters
and prospects primarily on Facebook and e-mail rather
than with paper mailings or phone calls.
Above: Volunteers create a red
ribbon in support of Vermonters with HIV/AIDS.
Left: Executive Director Peter
Jacobsen speaks to participants
during the rally.
In fact, we have discontinued our spring phone-a-thon
because results in relation to effort have steadily decreased. As people’s telephone habits have changed, our
ability to reach them with a fundraising appeal has in turn
almost vanished. What used to be a reliable and indeed,
inspiring, method of individually connecting with supporters is no longer viable. Our challenge is to employ new
media tools effectively so as to attract new supporters
while continuing to reach out to current and longstanding
donors in appropriate ways.
We thank you for staying in touch, and for your support!
