National AIDS Fund Mission Statement: National AIDS Fund exists to leverage resources, develop leadership and advocacy, and foster community innovation to prevent new HIV infections and care for people living with HIV/AIDS. Through its unique expanding network of Community Partnerships, NAF supports over 400 grassroots organizations annually which in turn provide HIV prevention, care and support services to underserved individuals and populations most impacted by HIV/AIDS including communities of color, youth and women. National AIDS Fund connects national and local funders, scientists, and community based organizations. Through its Community Partnerships and Special Initiatives, NAF invests more than $8 million annually in HIV/AIDS grant making to agencies nationwide, and has the ability and responsibility to lead discussions on the most effective strategies for preventing HIV. Grants provide care and services and work to prevent new infections through education and advocacy. National AIDS Fund Community Partnerships use the leverage of national Challenge Grants to raise support locally, and make community-level decisions about how and where funds should be spent. Together with our Community Partnerships and the Challenge Grants program, NAF has raised and invested over $160 million since 1988 for the fight against HIV/AIDS in the United States.
