Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever

With shifts and reductions in federal funding and philanthropic support, continued community engagement is more important than ever.

In this short message, John B. Cunningham, CEO of the National AIDS Memorial, shares why your support matters now—so that every life cut short by AIDS is honored, remembered, and carried forward through the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the Memorial’s work nationwide.

Your gift helps ensure that these stories are preserved, shared, and never forgotten—and that the legacy of the AIDS movement continues to guide future generations toward a more just and compassionate society.

Thank you for standing with us and for helping ensure this story carries on.
