Our Mission

DIFFA Chicago champions the fight to end HIV/AIDS through building awareness, supporting prevention efforts, and the pursuit of a cure.

We fund innovative programs that help achieve the Get to Zero goal of no new HIV cases by 2030, emphasizing collaborative efforts that provide research, wellness management, as well as advocacy and preventive education. Our grantmaking focuses on addressing critical community needs and filling gaps left by declining public funding.
