Who We Are

The San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative (SDHFC) is a group of funders and concerned community members. Our mission is to raise, leverage and collaboratively allocate private funds to reduce the impact of HIV in the San Diego region.

The SDHFC is a program managed by The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation.

Our History

  • By 1990, AIDS had become a major health crisis in the San Diego region. In response, a group of local funders, including Alliance Healthcare Foundation, established the San Diego Grantmakers' AIDS Collaboration (SDGAC). Donations were pooled and re-granted to local service organizations to help people affected by HIV/AIDS.
  • In 1997, Alliance Healthcare Foundation offered to provide SDGAC with fiscal sponsorship and administrative support. The increasing prevalence of HIV and the lengthening of life expectancy led SDGAC to change its name to the San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative (SDHFC).
  • In 2009, The San Diego Human Dignity Foundation was selected to be the next convener of the San Diego HIV Funding Collaborative.

SDHFC Today

On behalf of SDHFC, the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation raises funds from the local community, makes grants to local organizations, and assists grantees with technical support. Since 1990, over $5 million has been raised and re-granted to programs that fill gaps within the San Diego region's HIV/AIDS service delivery system.

Community partnerships with AIDS United and the Elton John AIDS Foundation have enabled SDHFC to maintain its fundraising momentum, leveraging local grants to maximize our funding potential.

More than two decades after the discovery of the disease, the need for grant-making in the area of HIV/AIDS remains critical. HIV infection continues to affect the lives of thousands of people, including minority populations, youth and women.
