Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS (DIFFA) raises
awareness and grants funds to organizations that fight HIV/AIDS
by providing treatment and direct care services for people living
with or impacted by the disease, offering preventative education
programs targeted to populations at risk of infection, or
supporting public policy initiatives. DIFFA is one of the largest
funders of HIV/AIDS service and education programs in the
United States, mobilizing the immense resources and creativity
of the design community. Since its founding in 1984, DIFFA has
emerged from a grassroots organization into a national foundation
based in New York City with chapters and community partners
across the country that, working together, have provided more
than $41 million to hundreds of HIV/AIDS organizations
nationwide. www.diffa.org.
