2009 Annual Report. For yesterday. For tomorrow.


The hardships of today will pass. They will be overcome. Solutions will be discovered. Strategies put into action. Successes achieved. And tomorrow will come.

Our optimism is not naive. It comes from over 28 years of work — from knowledge and experience; from triumph and adversity; from responding to a changing disease and redoubling our efforts at every step. Our optimism is the foundation of our work. In 2009 that optimism was put to the test.

We experienced the unprecedented shift that accompanied a change of administration and enjoyed the fruits of hard-won labors with legislation that uplifted the lives of HIV-positive immigrants. We fell victim to the tumult of an economic crisis that toughened our fight and strengthened our resolve. We expanded our services and fed more people in our dining room than ever before. And we faced the prospect of dwindling resources.

We did it all, not for today — for the fight against AIDS will not be won today. We did it all, instead, with the optimism of tomorrow. Because we know that one day — one tomorrow — our fight will indeed be won.

That’s why no matter who is in need; no matter how scarce or plentiful our resources; no matter where we find our allies or adversaries in communities and government, GMHC is for yesterday, for tomorrow, and for life.

For Life.

When we reach out to communities, we help unite them against risk. And often the communities we serve help right back.

Community Outreach: The House of Latex Ball connects with young at-risk people of color, drawing on the ties that bind the vibrant House and Ball community to propagate awareness, education, and prevention through onsite testing and counseling at an annual event that draws over 4,000 attendees.

Community Support: Fashion Forward. For the second year, some of the best known designers in the world contributed to Fashion Forward, benefitting GMHC’s programs, and outreach activities.

Community Celebration: Savor invited donors on a tour of New American cuisine. Four of the city’s most renowned chefs collaborated on a feast that nourished both our guests and our resources.

Community Action: We’re Not Dolls. Don’t Play with Women’s Lives. As part of National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, GMHC led a call-to-action on the steps of City Hall to bring the disproportionate plight of women and girls of color to light. Our legacy lent these women power. But the voice that was heard was theirs alone.

For the City.

For the World.

While dwindling resources may have challenged us, our successes on the world’s stage for HIV-affected populations made a bittersweet year sweeter still.

The Nation: A National HIV/AIDS Strategy. A long-held goal of GMHC, the now-in-development national AIDS strategy will align the efforts of community organizations; and develop new, useful epidemiological data; with the goal of slowing the rate of infections in our most vulnerable communities across the nation.

The Government: The Appointment of Jeff Crowley. President Obama appointed a Director of the Office of National AIDS Policy, Jeff Crowley. Mr. Crowley has promised to work closely with those at the forefront of the epidemic, including GMHC, to develop effective national programs.

The World: The Repeal of the HIV Immigration and Travel Ban. This year we watched in awe as the ban against HIV-positive immigrants and travelers fell forever. Now, more of the marginalized populations who need care and counseling most will finally receive it, without fear of prosecution or deportation.

Undermining Public Health and Human Rights: The United States HIV Travel and Immigration Ban


Dear Friends: 2009 was a year of change for all of us. A new president was elected while our economy was dealt seismic blows. And we all found ourselves pondering the difference between that which is valuable and that which is meaningful.

While the world was changing around us, GMHC was changing too. The strategic plan we meticulously crafted was put into action. We initiated a rebranding of the organization to better reflect our ever-evolving tactics. And we closely studied new epidemiological data to ensure that our resources were being directed at those who need them most.

And yet as profound as those changes may seem, for us it is a way of life. GMHC’s steadfastness comes from our ability to swiftly transform and respond to an epidemic that moves in virulent, unpredictable ways. The onus is upon us to react nimbly, to change constantly, to speak loudly, and to work tirelessly — no matter what the stock indexes read — against a disease that thrives in silence, apathy and stigma.

And from this year of ingenuity, we make this promise for the future: No matter who sits in the Oval Office. No matter how dire our economy becomes. No matter who is affected by HIV. GMHC will be here, working to end the AIDS epidemic.

We do it because our vision of a world without AIDS is clear and present. But we can only do it with the generous support of donors and supporters like you.

Thank you for your strength, your commitment, and your continued support.

For Ingenuity.


For Perseverance.

Crystal Taylor (Meals Program), Larry Kramer (one of GMHC’s six founders), Jeff Rindler (Volunteer, Work & Wellness Center), and Marjorie J. Hill, Ph.D. (CEO). For more information on our services, visit gmhc.org.

The economic descent of 2009 was felt by all. But due to the ingenuity and the generosity of GMHC staff and volunteers, no services were ended; no clients were turned away; no meals were cancelled.

Crystal Meth and HIV/AIDS. Many gay men are stilljeopardizing their lives and health with crystal methamphetamine addictions that lead to risk-taking behaviors and an increase in HIV infections. GMHC received the first federal appropriation in its history ($300,000) to address the critical issues of crystal methamphetamine use and its impact on the HIV/AIDS epidemic in New York City. This led us to develop a new interactive website — mymethlife.org — that provides resources and support while allowing people to share their experiences about crystal meth. We also upgraded our main website and re-imagined our logo with a new tagline to increase our visibility and engagement of the public.

For Everyone in Need: On January 30, 2009 more than 600 clients came in to our dining room needing a hot meal — a record-breaking demand. Never before had we fed so many in one day. Despite how thinly stretched our resources had become, we turned no one away.

AIDS Walk New York: Some of our longest-contributing donors were forced to scale back or eliminate their contributions this year. Yet thanks to the extraordinary efforts of the AIDS Walk staff and the generosity of our sponsors, 2009’s AIDS Walk broke all previous years’ records in corporate contributions.



For Cynthia.

In 2008, he was hired full-time in the Volunteer and Work Center. He then transferred recently to work in the MATCH Program as a Data Entry Specialist.

For Prevention.

Our services, programs, and lobbying efforts are based on the concept of prevention. Prevention is a continuum, with opportunities to reduce the risk of HIV transmission at every step, in every community, and in everyone — whether they’re HIV negative or HIV positive.

For John.

GMHC’s second annual Fashion Forward, which was hosted once again by Tim Gunn (Creative Director of Liz Clairborne and host of Project Runway), saluted the fashion industry’s longstanding commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS. From the earliest days of the epidemic, the fashion community has been on the frontlines, using its creativity and passion to raise public awareness and galvanizing fundraising efforts to support life-sustaining services.

With close to 700 people in attendance, the crowd included leaders from the fashion and modeling world, all on hand to show their support. A silent auction featuring items of a veritable who’s who of fashion kicked off the night which led up to a buzz-worthy fashion show featuring Spring/Summer ’09 looks from six of today’s brightest designers including Michael Bastian, Betsey Johnson, Ports 1961 by Tia Cibani, Tim Hamilton, Charles Nolan, and John Varvatos.

HIV-positive fashion designer and former Project Runway contestant Jack Mackenroth participated in the event to discuss his experience living with HIV for nearly 20 years as well as his latest project, a national initiative called Living Positive by Design (LPBD), an HIV/AIDS education campaign sponsored by Merck & Co., Inc.

Savor

GMHC hosted the second annual Savor, featuring some of New York’s finest chefs of New American cuisine. Emceed for a second year by Ted Allen, host of Food Network’s Chopped and Food Detectives, this year we honored a member of our family, Robert E. Bank, Esq., former Chief Operating Officer who departed GMHC after 14 years. He received a special presentation by Jacob Gayle, Ph.D., Deputy Vice President of the Ford Foundation.

Savor offered a superb four-course meal prepared by Chefs Anne Burrell of Food Network’s Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, Anita Lo of Annisa, Pichet Ong of P*ONG, and Suvir Saran of Dévi. Adding sublime sights to delectable flavors, remarkable pieces of American Pop Art (Lichtenstein, Haring, and Warhol), were shown digitally on the dining room walls surrounding the guests. The night included a performance by Sutton Foster, Tony Award-winner and star of the Broadway musical Shrek, as well as a live and silent auction.
