The AFC's governing body is comprised of representatives appointed by the funding partner organizations, along with community-at-large members and representatives of designated community organizations that do not contribute funds to the AFC's pooled resources but have expertise regarding HIV/AIDS and/or funding of HIV/AIDS programs and services. All representatives have an equal vote in AFC's decision-making. Current funding partners, required by the AFC's bylaws to contribute at least $50,000 to AFC's pooled resources, are: Alcohol, Drug Addiction & Mental Health Services Board of Cuyahoga County, The City of Cleveland, The Cleveland Foundation, Cuyahoga County, The George Gund Foundation, Mt. Sinai Health Care Foundation, Saint Luke's Foundation of Cleveland, and United Way of Greater Cleveland.  The AIDS Clinical Trials Unit/Center for AIDS Research Clinical Core at Case Western Reserve University participates in the AFC as a designated organization. There are three community-at-large members currently serving on the AFC. The AFC is located within The Center for Community Solutions, which provides fiscal and administrative oversight.

Representatives: Each funding partner organization has two voting representatives on the AFC, one from its staff and one representing its Board of Directors.  Community-at-large members each have one vote and each designated organization has one representative who votes on the AFC. The Center for Community Solutions has two non-voting representatives, one from its staff and one member of its Board of Directors.  Below is a list of current AFC members and their affiliations:
