ARA | Make A Donation

We need your help in the search for a cure.

AIDS Research Alliance raises most of its budget through private contributions. With your help, we can continue to make research advances against HIV/AIDS. Please write a check, use your credit card, or pledge a monthly amount to make a tax-deductible contribution, knowing that you are a part of a caring community united in helping everyone everywhere living with HIV/AIDS.

To make a contribution to support the critical work of ARA, hit the "Donate Now" button below, and a window will open containing a form for you to fill out. When you have finished filling out the form, you can hit "submit" and close the window, and this page will remain open. You will then be able to continue navigating our website from here, should you so desire. To download a PDF copy of our annual report, please click here.

Your donation will be secured using Groundsprings, a non-profit agency that coordinates payments and other aspects of fundraising for organizations like ARA.

AIDS Research Alliance Featured Donor
Richard Gere

We would like to thank Richard Gere for over a decade of generous support to AIDS Research Alliance. He has been a committed and tireless supporter of HIV/AIDS research, as well as countless other humanitarian, health and social efforts. He established the Initiatives Foundation in 2002 to raise funds and funnel resources to disadvantaged communities worldwide, and hosted the 1992 United Nations World AIDS Day event. We are proud to be among the organizations benefiting from his dedication and generosity.

Further Giving Information
We can also accept donations of stocks, bonds and other securities. By donating stocks that have risen in value since you purchased them, you get the full tax deduction of their current value, while avoiding the capital gains taxes you would pay if they were sold. For more information about this type of giving, please contact us at 310.358.2423.

Workplace giving/Combined Federal Campaign
(CFC Designation #1704):
All employees of the Federal Government are eligible to participate in the Combined Federal Campaign. This workplace fundraising program enables federal employees to contribute to the charitable organization of their choice, such as ARA, through a payroll deduction program. ARA participates in the CFC as a member of the Medical Research Charities (MRC); our designation number is #1704.

Are you a state or city employee?
States and countries often maintain their own payroll deduction fundraising programs. Eligibility rules for organizations differ from state to state. Check to see if ARA is listed in your campaign.

Does your company have a workplace giving program?
Many U.S. companies facilitate charitable giving through workplace fundraising programs. You may be able to support ARA through your company's matching or payroll deduction program.
