1995–2003

The Mt. Sinai Health Care Foundation and Saint Luke’s Foundation join the founding funders at the AIDS Funding Collaborative (AFC) table, while the George Gund Foundation and City of Cleveland align their grantmaking with the AFC. For its first ten years, the AFC was housed at United Way of Greater Cleveland and carried out its work with generous in-kind staff support from United Way and the Cleveland Foundation, through the volunteer efforts of its members, and using staff consultants. Funding priorities include prevention education, infrastructure and needle exchange.
