What We Do

Support Us

No one should suffer from stigma, fear or lack of access to treatment anymore – everyone deserves the right to a healthy life.

Elton John, Founder

Your support means so much to all of us at the Foundation, our partners, and the vulnerable communities we serve who are at risk of HIV and stigmatised for who they are.

Elton John, Founder

We will not leave anyone behind.

HELP END AIDS FOR EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE.

The Rocket Fund is the Elton John AIDS Foundation’s transformative $125 million campaign to redouble the fight against AIDS everywhere.

Growing levels of stigmatization, marginalization, and poverty have led to high rates of HIV and low access to healthcare. We have the chance to tackle these issues and create a brighter and more equitable future – for everyone, everywhere.

Together, we can end AIDS forever. Join us.

Our Focus

LGBTQ+ couple stand next to each other in an embrace.

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.

Where we focus

United States

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.

Eastern Europe & Central Asia

HIV infections are on the rise in EECA. The Rocket Fund supports RADIAN, our initiative which brings quality HIV/AIDS care and prevention services to people at risk of or living with HIV.

Sub-Saharan Africa

The Rocket Fund supports programs such as Triggerise’s In Their Hands, a ground-breaking service in Kenya which integrates mental health services into HIV and sexual and reproductive health care.
