Our Work

San Francisco can be the first U.S. city to end the HIV epidemic.  That's why we're expanding local services for HIV prevention and care in neighborhoods most impacted by the disease. Below, you'll find a summary of the various categories of our work.  It's worth noting that as evidence mounts about the links between HIV prevention, treatment, and addressing co-factors of HIV infection like substance abuse, the lines between these categories are increasingly blurred.  To find a specific program that's right for you or someone you care about, please visit our Client Services section.  There you'll find a detailed description of the full range of local services we provide at no cost to our community.

We are driven by three ambitious goals 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.   We cannot be successful alone.  That's why we work in partnership with peer organizations throughout the city to expand the reach and impact of our efforts.   In addition to our 13 ongoing partnerships for service delivery across San Francisco, we also offer funding to organizations in our community through two funding programs:

• Community Grant Program (CGP)
  Offering unrestricted grants between $1,000 and $20,000. Learn more and apply.
• Community Partners Program (CPP)
  Part of the Foundation’s AIDS Walk SF event, produced in partnership with MZA EVENTS, allows community partners to form their own teams and receive 100% of the proceeds from their team participants, restrictions apply. San Francisco AIDS Foundation covers all administrative, overhead and event costs. Learn more and apply.
