Mission and programs · 2024

Mission

Open Aid Alliance works with the unique potential of each individual to overcome stigma as they seek greater health. Multiple programs work synergistically to carry out our mission and achieve risk reduction goals.

  • HOUSING PROGRAM:We operated a housing program for low-income individuals living with HIV in western Montana. This program provides housing assistance in the form of rent payments and case management to stabilize and support medical and health goals and prevent new HIV infections. 28 individuals were served through short-term rental assistance and 10 received move-in assistance.

    Expenses $1,129,117

  • SYRINGE SERVICE PROGRAM AND "UNCOVERY" TREATMENT CENTER:The syringe service program is a community-based public health approach to prevent disease transmission, prevent overdose, and improve overall health outcomes for people who use drugs. The program includes sterile injection equipment, trains people to respond to overdose and encourages the proper disposal of used syringes. The syringe service program is a critical linkage to behavorial health, housing and medical care for people who use injection drugs. This program operates fixedlocations in Missoula and Polson and supports multiple programs across Montana. Peer support is a mutual aid support program where people connect based on shared lived experience. Our peer support program is focused on people experiencing challenges associated with substanceabuse and housing insecurity. UNCOVERY is a state approved substance use disorder treatment center providing outpatient services in a harmreduction framework including case management individuals. This allows us to meet the behavioral health needs of some of our communitys most vulnerable individuals.

  • TESTING AND PREVENTION:In 2024, this program identified 0 probable cases of HIV after testing366 individuals. We performed 174 HCV (Hepatitis C) tests, screened 119 individuals for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea, and tested 207 people for syphilis. We identified and referred to treatment 2 high-risk individuals for syphilis treatment immediately. Rates of syphilis in Montana are currently at a 60-year high. We provide low-cost screening for sexually transmitted diseases at multiple locations and community events across Montana.

  • CONSULTING AND CAPACITY:Other activities to meet our mission.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Grants received

The 10 largest by cash amount. The API serves every itemized grant.

Related organizations

From Schedule R Part II, where a filer lists the tax-exempt organizations it is related to by control. It does not record shared board members or money.

Auto-Revocation List

Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.

Publication 78

Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.

These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
