The Rocket Fund

HELP END AIDS FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.

Today, we stand together on the brink of ending this epidemic, and we won’t waste that opportunity.

The Rocket Fund is the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s transformative campaign to accelerate innovative HIV solutions for marginalized communities, close critical gaps left by global funding cuts and tackle the stigma that continues to block access to lifesaving care. We’ve extended our goal to $200 million to ensure no one is left behind.

Together, we can end AIDS for good. Join us.

Our Focus

Three young LGBTQ+ men smiling with their arms around eachother.

Support LGBTQ+ Communities

The LGBTQ+ community is disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS. Men who have sex with men are 35x more likely to acquire HIV than the general population. Transgender women are 14x more likely.

Young People

For young people aged 15-19 globally, AIDS is among the main causes of death. In Sub-Saharan Africa, it is the leading cause. Young people are our future, and we are working to ensure that future is free from AIDS and the stigma around it.

People Who Use Drugs

People who inject drugs are 14x more likely to acquire HIV than the general population. To end AIDS, people who use drugs need treatment and care, not shame and stigma. AIDS isn’t over for anyone until it’s over for everyone.

We work with leading U.S. companies, tapping into their cutting-edge capabilities, to make HIV services available where inequity, stigma, and lack of resources keep people away from the treatment and services they need.
