Until There’s A Cure: Funding Sources and Granting
Founded in 1993, the Foundation's expressed goal is
to raise funds. What distinguishes this Foundation
from others seeking to help those facing this
disease is that the sole source of financing for
this effort is The Bracelet a simple yet elegant
symbol reminiscent of the POW/MIA bracelets worn
during the 1960s and 1970s. The Bracelet is the key
source for funding efforts in HIV/AIDS education,
care services, and vaccine development and was
created as the cornerstone for the Until There's A
Cure Foundation.
Since its introduction in 1994, nearly a million
bracelets have been sold! In answering the question,
How much of our funds goes to the cause you can see
from our publicly available 990 reports to the IRS
that, historically, just under 90% of our funds have
gone to AIDS-related programs, including our grants
to HIV/AIDS organizations and our own AIDS awareness
efforts. Please feel free to visit Charity
Navigators web site to obtain a copy of our 990 :

For the current generation of young Americans, the
Foundation supports innovative education programs to
encourage safer behaviors. The Until There's A Cure
Foundation supports programs that teach teens and
young adults, through peer-to-peer education, about
the dangers of HIV.
For those living with HIV/AIDS, the Foundation
provides financial support for care and other
services. Funds include grants to medical care
providers, hospices, food delivery services, and
social service agencies, building support in the
community for people with AIDS, so that compassion
and care are the norm rather than the exception.
For future generations, the Foundation advocates
AIDS vaccine development. A vaccine is the best hope
for reducing the transmission of this deadly virus.
Our dream is that no one else will become infected
with HIV. For those who are HIV positive, we are
dedicated on their behalf to educating all people
about the virus and the overwhelming need for love
and compassion in fighting this pandemic.
