DIFFA Chicago raises awareness for HIV/AIDS through sponsorships, annual design events, media & digital outreach, fundraising, and local partnerships.
Through these events and activities, DIFFA Chicago raises funds which make up the unrestricted grants we award to non-profit organizations within Chicago and the Chicagoland area; organizations providing direct care and services to those living with and/or affected by HIV/AIDS.
See coverage of our events from Windy City Times, the voice of Chicago’s Gay, Lesbian, Bi, Trans and Queer Community since 1985.
We keep our efforts front and center by sharing the stories of our grantees at our events, on our website and on social media.
We host 3 major fundraising events each year:
DIFFA IN THE COMMUNITY
DIFFA/Chicago is one of the few AIDS organizations that grants unrestricted funds to HIV/AIDS service agencies in our community, providing for flexible spending in direct care and education programs.
A donation to DIFFA/Chicago ensures that grant money goes to organizations where it can make the most impact for those living with and at risk of HIV/AIDS.
Our Grants Committee members personally review HIV/AIDS service agencies, judge fiscal responsibility, and measure program effectiveness on behalf of our donors.
