Physical Description: 58 folders

Series Scope and Content Summary

This series consists of documents collected or created by Bolan during his time as Chairman of the Board of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation (SFAF), June 1983-January 1986, including background information on the Foundation. During this time the former Kaposi's Sarcoma Research and Educational Foundation (KSRE) transmuted into the SFAF and various versions of the name appear in the records. This series includes Administrative, Financial, Research and Programmatic materials.
Administrative materials include office management and policy information, executive director's reports and board of directors files. These include an undated, draft Official Office Manual and personnel policy drafts from 1984, as well as articles on non-profit management and the reorganization of the organization in 1982-1983. A Personnel file containing information on the dismissal of an Executive Director and subsequent legal challenge is restricted due to the sensitive nature of the materials.
Financial documents include budgets, financial reports, fundraising and grant related materials. These include request for proposal (RFP) documents connected to the Roberti bill's funding of California AIDS services, National Institute of Health (NIH) grants, and the San Francisco Department of Health and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
The unexpected in this series includes a formal head shot of drag entertainer "Ambi Sextros" which can be found in the "Fundraisers and Funding Proposals" folder, and a letter quoting from an "Uncle Wiggly" story in the High Risk Education - Project Organization file.
