The Aliveness Project™

We want to thank PFund Foundation for their quick response to support the several organizations who are finding ways to immediately provide the life-saving and life-affirming services previously provided by Rainbow Health. In times like these, it is more important than ever to stand together as a community. We all believe that our queer and trans communities are so much stronger when we are in relationship to each other. Click Here to support: https://lnkd.in/gBqi9QQE

The Aliveness Project is deeply saddened by Rainbow Health's sudden, unexpected closure. Rainbow Health has provided a vital role in the lives of our members and the LGBTQ+ community. Our hearts go out to the 60 staff members and thousands of clients affected by this loss. Please take care of yourself and each other. Despite the challenges we face, we firmly believe we will emerge a stronger community.

Huge shoutout to U.S. Senator Tina Smith for coming home & taking the time to visit Aliveness Project! Her support has been a game-changer, allowing us to expand our clinical services & open a specialty pharmacy. It was inspiring to have her tour our outreach van, food pantry, & meal program. She engagement with our staff & community members has shown us that together, we can make a difference in the lives of those living with HIV. Thank you for your unwavering support & commitment to ending HIV!

A huge shoutout to our City Council Representative, Andrea Jenkins, for being the first elected offical to take the time to visit our construction site and tour the future home of our new HIV/PrEP clinic and specialty pharmacy! Thank you for stopping by and for your continued advocacy for accessible healthcare services. We can't wait for you to see the final result and to continue working together to make a difference! #HIVPrevention #EndHIVMN #Ward8

We are excited to announce Aliveness was awarded a grant for $1,000,000 through a federal funding investment from U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Tina Smith (D-MN) in Congressionally Directed Spending. These funds will be used to construct and expand an HIV prevention and sexual health clinic with a specialized pharmacy in the Twin Cities “This is a transformative investment in innovative HIV Care and Prevention.
