34 million people around the world are currently living with HIV, with 71,300 in Canada alone.

Young people account for 40% of all new adult HIV infections globally; that means that each day, more than 2,400 young people become infected with HIV.

The mission of the Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) is to provide grants to HIV and AIDS researchers, so that they can find a cure or a vaccine, allowing those affected by HIV and AIDS to live a normal life.While funding research, we also promote awareness and prevention amongst youth, empowering them to make safe and healthy decision.

As the need for awareness and research funds grows, we need to grow too, so that we can face HIV and AIDS head-on.

For this reason, we are moving in to a new office space for the beginning of June. While raising money for our prevention programs and our research grant program, we also need make sure that we can afford this move into a bigger space.


It is extremely difficult to find funding for an office move, but we decided that the Indiegogo community would be the perfect fit for this type of fundraising campaign.

$5,000 raised in this campaign to cover our moving costs means that we have $5,000 more which can go towards finding a cure!

Expenses:

  • $2,200.00 for a moving company
  • $820.00 to have our phones moved and set up
  • $1,000.00 for updating and setting up computers
  • $980.00 remaining to go towards purchase of second-hand office furniture
If we do not reach our full financial goal, the money will still go towards covering whatever we can for our move expenses, the largest being the moving company expense. If we raise MORE than $5,000 (here's hoping!), then the extra will go towards our research grants program!

How You Will Make a Difference:

  • This move is necessary; we cannot stay in our current space. If we do not have an office to work out of, we cannot work towards a cure
  • We will be able to focus on our research grants.Grant applications for HIV and AIDS researchers are approved at the end of June. An exciting time for us, to see what fascinating and inspiring research is being proposed, which could lead to a cure or a vaccine
  • We can expand our youth awareness and prevention programs, and reach more Canadian youth than ever. We often have volunteers and interns, and our new office will give us the space to host them more often
  • The $5,000 raised in this campaign to cover our moving costs means that we have $5,000 more which can go towards finding a cure.
