National AIDS Fund

In 1988, a consortium of national private foundations and corporate donors came together to combine financial resources at the national level and re-distribute those funds to those who needed them most in the battle against HIV/AIDS - community-based organizations across the United States. The unique model that emerged - the Community Partnership Model - remains the essence of the National AIDS Fund as an organization and a funder.

The National AIDS Fund collaborates with national and multi-national businesses and philanthropic organizations that provide financial resources to a grantmaking pool or for strategic initiatives. The National AIDS Fund then strategically structures and directs those funds to community-based organizations through Community Partnerships around the country. Community Partnerships typically qualify for their grants by raising matching local dollars.
