Every $50 donation helps us reach 200 women living with HIV with our resources!

Welcome to The Well Project’s 2024 fundraising drive! Now, more than ever, it is important to lift up and center our core values. Since The Well Project’s founding, strong values have been the driving force of our work, and a key reason The Well Project is such a trusted source of information, advocacy, and support. A crowning achievement of this year is that, for the first time, we put those values into words – engaging in a process to make explicit and name what underpins our work.

It was an honor to collaborate with members of our staff, board of directors, and community advisory board to elucidate The Well Project’s commitment and motivations for the past 22 years.

Over the next two months, we will highlight each of our five values:

Can you commit to making a $10, $20, or $30 monthly recurring tax-deductible donation to ensure The Well Project’s values-driven work continues to reach women and girls living with and vulnerable to HIV across the gender spectrum? Our goal is to raise $40,000 through this fundraiser, and if 350 donors pledged $10 a month, we would meet our goal!

Whether a one-time or recurring donation, every donation is meaningful, no matter the size – and smaller gifts add up to a big difference!!

Please learn more about The Well Project’s values below. You will also soon get to hear essential voices from our community, speaking to just how deeply each value matters. When making a donation, please also let us know which of these values most resonates for you!
