2. David and Adam founded The Prius
Project to establish a sustainable,
long-term funding source for AIDS
Services of Austin, which provides
much needed care, casework and
testing for members of our local
community who, like Adam, are living
with HIV.
Shortly after co-founding The Prius
Project, Adam’s declining health
forced him to returned to his home in
Perth, Australia where he can receive
the medical assistance and treatment
that he requires as he continues his
battle with HIV/AIDS. Adam and David
remain friends and both resolve that
The Prius Project will grow and
flourish as Adam’s living legacy.

3. The Prius Project was designed as a way to reach a broad audience with the life-saving mission of
ASA, and exemplify how a single donation can be leveraged into many more donations, quadrupling
the fundraising impact of the original gift.
David also challenged ASA to reach The Prius Project’s annual fundraising goal of $100,000 by
committing to establish a matching investment foundation of which ASA is the beneficiary. In its first
year, that matching investment is estimated to contribute an additional $15,000 to ASA and as its
principal grows through The Prius Project, it will help support the organization’s growth and vitality for
years to come.
With a year full of long dedicated days, rapid growth, and steep learning curves under our belts, The
Prius Project is up for the challenge to reach its annual goal for the next 10 years, and ultimately raise
more that $2 Million in funds for ASA.

4. The Prius Project is first and foremost made possible by the donation of a brand new Toyota Prius by
David Owen’s companies: A List Partners, Pride of Austin Capital Partners and Pride of Austin Homes.
In addition to the Prius, David and his staff donated their time and resources alongside the dedicated
staff from AIDS Services of Austin and volunteers from The Octopus Club.
Special thanks to Pride of Austin’s Co-Manager Rob Buchanan and A List Partners employees Shane
Kuempel, Richard Moore and James Rincon.

5. There is a vast number of people, without whom this campaign would not have been possible.

next decade.

7. AIDS Services of Austin’s mission is to enhance the health and well-being of the community and people
affected by HIV and AIDS. This year, ASA celebrates 25 years of positive change for people affected by
HIV and AIDS in Central Texas.
It has been 30 years since AIDS first appeared as an emerging disease, and ASA has been responding
to this evolving epidemic in Central Texas for 25 of them. As ASA has grown and become the largest
AIDS Services Organization in Central Texas, they have lived by the core values of adaptability,
collaboration, diversity, integrity, and respect.
ASA envisions an empowered community free from stigma and committed to healthier lives for people
affected by HIV and AIDS. With this vision in mind, ASA developed its strategic plan in 2011 to guide
future growth.
There are an estimated 6,000 people living with HIV and AIDS in Central Texas. Approximately 1 in 5 are
unaware of their status. When people discover they are HIV-positive, they are more likely to get medical
care to slow the progress of the disease, and they are less likely to transmit the virus.
Each year, ASA provides direct care services to over 1,500 people, and HIV prevention education to
over 10,000 people in Central Texas through core programs such as:
The Paul Kirby Emergency Financial Assistance Fund The Jack Sansing Dental Clinic
Capital Area AIDS Legal Project (CAALP) Prevention
Case Management The Q Program
The Helping Hands Food Bank The Women Rising Project

8. Half of the proceeds from this year’s
Prius Project have been designated to go
to ASA’s Paul Kirby Emergency Financial
Assistance Fund.
The fund provides limited, temporary
emergency financial assistance for clients
to meet basic living needs, an area of
critical need that has seen significant
growth recently.
The Octopus Club is a volunteer
fundraising group dedicated to raising
money specifically for The Paul Kirby
Fund. The Octopus Club hosts parties
including ArtErotica, OctoTea Dance and
the Oscar Party to provide the fund a
dynamic revenue source, and are always
looking for new, energetic volunteers.
