Ending Barriers to Care
The Rocket Fund turbo-charges our mission to reach marginalized people in most need of support. Since 2020, The Rocket Fund has reached over 2.2 million people, including over 645,000 young people, with critical HIV services and information, and has confronted the dangerous stigma that keeps people from getting the care they need.
Behind these numbers are mothers, children, partners, and dreamers whose lives have been transformed. But the work is far from over — and so many more people still need us. Join us.
