The Indiana AIDS Fund, Inc. is committed to eliminating HIV infections, and improving the health and well-being of persons living with HIV & AIDS.
Indiana Aids Fund Inc centers its grantmaking on HIV care and treatment services in Indiana, with formula grants flowing repeatedly to the same service providers over multiple years. The largest recent award in the data is $217,160 to Bu Wellness in Indianapolis for HIV care formula grants, and the same organization appears again in 2025 with another grant. That pattern fits a funder that supports ongoing service delivery rather than one-time projects. The foundation’s recent awards also show support for organizations serving people living with HIV across the state. Indy Pride received $200,000 in 2024 and $65,000 in 2025 for HIV care formula grants and mpox funding, while The Damien Center in Indianapolis received $81,000 in 2023 and $60,139 in 2024. Other recurring grantees include Aids Ministries Aids Assist, Step Up Inc, Northeast Indiana Positive Resource Connection, and Aliveness Project of Nw Indiana. Together, these grants point to a funder focused on direct service capacity, care coordination, and related health supports for Hoosiers affected by HIV/AIDS.
Indiana Aids Fund Inc supports HIV service delivery through grants tied to direct care and case management. Indiana University Research in Bloomington received $103,077 in 2025 for HIV care formula grants, showing support for research-linked HIV work as part of the portfolio. The foundation also funds regional service providers. Aids Ministries Aids Assist in South Bend received $70,919 in 2023, $63,375 in 2024, and $61,843 in 2025, all for HIV care formula grants. Northeast Indiana Positive Resource Connection in Fort Wayne received $63,551 in 2023, $63,931 in 2024, and $31,196 in 2025, again under HIV care formula grants. Clark County Health Department in Jeffersonville received $50,000 in 2024 and $46,256 in 2023, indicating support for public-health delivery sites as well as nonprofit agencies.
Typical grant sizes cluster in the mid-five-figure range: p25 is $50,000, median is $62,637, and p75 is $82,646. The recent record also shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, which points to recurring support rather than isolated one-off giving. The foundation’s active DEFA programs are distributed through The Health Foundation to designated grantee agencies, and both programs are listed as not accepting unsolicited requests. The grantmaking structure is disease-specific and operational, with formula grants supporting ongoing service work.
