At MASS, we believe everyone deserves access to free, compassionate HIV testing and prevention services, regardless of who they are or what they have in their bank account.
But this year, we’re facing a challenge.
Why We’re Asking for Your Help
Due to recent government funding cuts, MASS lost over $50,000 in funding. That’s money that supported critical programs like:
-
Free HIV and STI testing
-
Community outreach and education
-
Condom and safe sex kit distribution
-
Harm reduction programs
-
Clothing and hygiene resources through our CHR Closet
These services save lives every single day. But without new funding, we risk having to limit or end programs that so many in our community depend on.
Our Goal: $50,000 for the People
We’ve launched a campaign to raise $50,000 this year from community members, supporters, and allies like you. This isn’t about funding bonuses or fancy offices. Every dollar will go directly toward:
✅ Keeping our clinics open
✅ Ensuring free testing for anyone who needs it
✅ Stocking condoms, PrEP education materials, and harm reduction kits
✅ Hosting safe sex workshops, testing events, and prevention classes
✅ Supporting the day-to-day operations that keep MASS running strong
Why It Matters
For many in our community, MASS is the only place they feel safe and respected while getting tested. It’s the only place they can walk in for free condoms, get questions answered without judgment, and leave feeling empowered about their health.
Imagine having nowhere to go for testing. Imagine the fear and isolation that comes with not knowing your status. We can’t let that happen.
