We Won't Back Down!

Our promise to our clients and our community is to provide lifesaving work for people living with and affected by HIV. Will you help us keep up the fight?

2025 could bring major changes to GMHC, with uncertainties in government funding and an increase in those needing our services. To continue providing critical care and support, we set a goal of raising $90,000 for 2025 — and we’re already more than halfway there! Will you help us reach our 2025 goal today?
