THE ALIVENESS PROJECT INC

The Aliveness Project is a member-based community center in Minneapolis that has supported people living with HIV since 1985. It advances HIV health equity through community, care, and connection and provides a range of direct services including clinical care, a community pharmacy, HIV testing, prevention (PrEP/PEP/DoxyPEP), harm reduction and syringe services, case management, housing support, food and nutrition, and peer/community support. In the last 2–3 years the organization has substantially expanded its clinical and pharmacy services (Thrive Clinical Services / ThriveRx), increased government grant funding and overall operating revenue, and maintained audited financial statements while continuing member-led governance (including a Membership Advisory Committee and a board with required member representation). The Aliveness Project also operates targeted programs for communities disproportionately affected by HIV, including specialized programming for Black men who have sex with men and LGBTQ+ communities.
