The San Francisco AIDS Foundation By C.J. Dennis

Mission/Objective San Francisco AIDS Foundation works to end the HIV epidemic in the city where it began and eventually everywhere. This program was established in 1982, and their mission is the radical reduction of new infections in San Francisco because they refuse to accept HIV as inevitable. Also, through education advocacy and direct services for prevention and care, they are confronting HIV in communities most vulnerable to the disease.

Historical Background San Francisco became the first city in the United States to experience epidemic levels of HIV/AIDS. Three decades later, the fight against the disease continues. For this reason, San Francisco AIDS foundation was started in order to answer the call for our community, until HIV/AIDS is no more. In April 1982, a group of community leaders and physicians, including Dr. Marcus Conant, Frank Jacobson, Cleve Jones, and Richard Keller, came together to respond to emerging health crisis plaguing mostly homosexuals in San Francisco. However since the creation of the foundation the disease began to spread beyond the gay community. Therefore, the foundation's programs and services expanded in size and sophistication to meet the needs of our city’s most impacted populations.

Membership Their work is made possible by thousands of regular people who make an important difference in the fight against HIV/ADIS by selflessly donating and volunteering their time, talents, money and resources. They plan to end HIV in the city where it started, and they will make San Francisco a model for ending HIV everywhere.

Past Accomplishment In 1996, 2000, 2006, and 200, the San Francisco AIDS foundation played a leadership role within the Communities advocating Emergency AIDS relief (CAEAR), coalition ton successful reauthorizing the Ryan White CAEAR act for five more years. The foundation also worked extensively to help Medicare-eligible people with HIV/AIDS understand and access their Part D Medicare Prescription Drug Benefits, and has advocated for the fullest possible coverage, at no or low cost, for people entering this program. Since 1998, the foundation has secured substantial new funding for the Minority HIV/AIDS Initiative, which seeks to reduce racial disparities in HIV-related health outcomes by strengthening the organizational infrastructure and service capacity of minority community-based organizations. The federal government currently provides nearly $400 million in targeted funding for the initiative.

Today’s objective/Goals San Francisco still tries be the first U.S. city to end the HIV epidemic. Which is why they are expanding local services for HIV prevention and care in neighborhoods most impacted by the disease. They have currently driven out three ambitions goals mostly for 2015, which include reducing by 50% the number of new HIV infections in San Francisco, ensuring that all San Franciscans know their current HIV status and ensuring access to proper HIV care for all San Franciscans who need it. However, they can not be successful alone. That's why they are working in partnership with peer organizations throughout the city to expand the reach and impact of their efforts. In addition to our 13 ongoing partnerships for service delivery across San Francisco, they also offer funding to organizations in our community through two funding programs: Community Grant Program and Community Partners Program.

Current Legislation They are recently hosting a fundraising event called Dining Out for life. Dining Out for Life is an annual one-day fundraising event hosted at more than 100 Bay Area restaurants, involving hundreds of dedicated volunteers and generous patrons. Each restaurant donates 25% of gross sales generated on Thursday, April 25, All proceeds support the HIV prevention and care services of San Francisco AIDS Foundation. They also host one of their oldest events the AIDS walk a fundraiser that is still commissioning today. Lastly, Another program is the AIDS/Lifecycle which is a fully supported, 7-day bike ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles to raise money and awareness in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Every year, this landmark ride through beautiful California delivers a life-changing experience for thousands of participants from all backgrounds and fitness levels united by a common desire to do something heroic. Whether you're considering your first ride or are a seasoned veteran, we want you with us on AIDS/LifeCycle 12.

How to Join You can join by applying to their website, and participate by volunteering, donating, and advocating in the several current events this foundation has occurring.
