United Methodist Global AIDS Fund
United Methodists are stepping up to provide a tangible response to the HIV/AIDS crisis through the United Methodist Global AIDS Fund. The fund was established at the 2004 General Conference to raise $8 million by 2008.
Every United Methodist
This fund represents the commitment of every United Methodist to put a stop to HIV/AIDS in our world.
The $8 million represents a $1 commitment of every United Methodist in the United States. It supports education, prevention, care, and treatment programs for people living with HIV/AIDS. The United Methodist Global AIDS Fund does not overlook the crisis in the US. About one million people are infected in the US and more are added to that number each day. The plan specifies that 25 percent of what each annual conference raises should be used in that conference for AIDS work, either locally or in global projects.

As followers of Jesus Christ, United Methodists are called to address the AIDS pandemic in a comprehensive, effective way in local communities and around the globe.
