The Consortium is a non-profit 501(c)(3), a statewide community based organization that is the state's leader in facilitating and promoting statewide coordination and collaboration of organizations, groups, and individuals who develop, implement, and advocate services and policies aimed at the prevention of HIV and the care of people and communities affected by HIV/AIDS in Delaware.

The Consortium also performs administrative oversight and monitors direct client services including: case management, transportation, emergency client assistance and housing programs statewide. The Consortium works as a network of resources directing individuals and organizations to services, volunteerism and educational opportunities.

The Delaware HIV Consortium is dedicated to eliminating the spread of HIV/AIDS and to creating a seamless continuum of care for all people infected and affected in Delaware.

As a statewide non-profit HIV/AIDS organization, we need your voice and active participation in the planning process. Working together across the state, we can improve the lives of those with HIV/AIDS and help prevent further damage to neighborhoods and communities from this silent epidemic. Your membership in the Delaware HIV Consortium will keep you up-to-date in a fast-paced, ever-changing world of HIV information.

Your membership will give you a say in how programming is designed to assist the people infected, affected and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. The Consortium facilitates statewide Planning Council and a Policy Committee that set the funding and policy priorities for HIV services in Delaware. Active participation in any and all of these committees is encouraged. The Consortium also hosts an annual meeting, fundraising events, educational workshops, public forums, and volunteer opportunities for our members. Each member will receive Voices, our quarterly newsletter, as well as notices about special events, programs and awareness activities throughout the year.

Anyone can be a member. We especially encourage minority organizations, women, people of color, HIV positive individuals and corporate entities to join the Delaware HIV Consortium. Currently, our membership consists of businesses, community/civic organizations, service providers, faith-based groups, people with HIV/AIDS, government organizations, and concerned citizens from throughout Delaware.

Members can determine their own level of involvement because there is no specific time requirement. We hope to see members attend meetings regularly, become active in a committee, and advocate the mission of the Delaware HIV Consortium whenever given the opportunity.

There is no charge to become a friend of the Consortium. However, we have several development initiatives and special events that you may contribute to whenever possible. These programs include, but are not limited to, the annual "I Care" campaign, the WOW Awards Celebration, AIDS Walk Delaware, "Easy As Pie" Thanksgiving Fundraiser, Michael Brosette Memorial emergency client assistance program, as well as the housing assistance program.

The Consortium's funding comes from the federal Ryan White Modernization Act, Centers for Disease Control, Housing Opportunities for People Living with AIDS, the City of Wilmington, the Division of Public Health, corporate grants, sponsorships, private foundations, fund-raisers and individual contributions.
