In order to further its mission, AIDS Fund works in collaboration with many area community based organizations.
AIDS Fund distributes the funds raised by Philly AIDS Thrift to local AIDS service providers. This unique partnership allows Philly AIDS Thrift to concentrate its efforts on operating its retail store at 514 Bainbridge Street in Philadelphia, while utilizing AIDS Fund’s grant process.
A space sharing agreement with the William Way Community Center has allowed AIDS Fund to reduce overhead expenses and be a part of the vibrant and growing Community Center.
Working with America’s Charities, Bread and Roses Community Fund , Center for Responsible Funding, Delaware Valley Legacy Fund , Environmental Fund for Pennsylvania and Women’s Way, AIDS Fund seeks to create new and enhance existing workplace giving campaigns.
In partnership with Sapphire Fund and Broad Street Ministry, AIDS Fund produces an annual World AIDS Day event. This community wide event is designed to remember those we’ve lost to the epidemic, support those living with HIV, raise awareness in the community, educate those at risk, and re-dedicate ourselves to ending this epidemic.
While great strides have been made in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, human tissue from both infected and uninfected individuals are needed to continue the vital work to discover new therapies for HIV/AIDS and minimize the impact of adverse side effects while working steadily on the development of a vaccine. AIDS Fund is pleased to help raise awareness about the (hyper link to National Disease Research Interchange's (NDRI) ) program for blood, organ and tissue donations from HIV-positive donors for the research community. If you are HIV-positive and are interested in tissue donation for research, NDRI can provide you with all the necessary information on their web site at http://www.ndriresource.org/NDRI_Initiatives/HIV/35/
