As a Nonprofit leader in our community, you no doubt understand the pressing need for HIV Awareness, prevention and medical support. Solano County has one the most under served HIV/AIDS positive populations in Northern California and very little is done to promote effective prevention and care.
Our efforts to educate and assist cannot take effect unless we have the support of everyone in our community. That’s where you come in! Please Donate or become a volunteer.
Public charity Status 170 (b) (1) (A) (vi) Nonprofit number 36-4639664 Tax Exemption 501 (C) (3)
By donating, you will be able to help us reach thousands more in Solano County and save lives. If you would like to sit down and have a discussion about donating time, money, or services, you can contact me directly at 707-450-5861 or email me at SolanoAidsCoalition@yahoo.com
I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you in advance for your generosity.
With warm regards,
