Our Commitment to Equity and Inclusion
A Foundation Built on Equality
The Collaborative Research Foundation is deeply committed to creating a world where everyone has equal access to health and opportunity, regardless of race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity, socioeconomic status, or other marginalized identities. We believe that equity and inclusion are essential components of ending the HIV epidemic.
Compassion & Care
Our mission is to provide compassionate care and support to all individuals living with HIV and those at risk.

- Creating inclusive spaces: We foster a welcoming and inclusive environment for all staff, clients, and partners.
- Building strong partnerships: We collaborate with community organizations to ensure that our services are culturally competent and responsive to the needs of diverse communities.
