Does anyone know of a way to support medical research of AIDS through
charitable contributions to organizations doing the research or at least
to foundations that would distribute such funds? I am interested in
finding out about such organizations and contributing to one if I find
one that is worth while.
I have contributed to the Colorado AIDS Project (CAP) which is a local,
non-profit organization which assists persons with AIDS and provides
information and education about AIDS to the public. It funds no
medical research.
Although I realize that medical research is an endeavor which requires
"mega-bucks" that many say only government can provide, I would point out
that the same could be said of cancer research which does, I believe, get
significant funding from private donations. It is probably the best way
to augment the shrinking government support for AIDS research in these days
of Federal cutbacks in everything that isn't military.
I would appreciate any information anyone might have.
Thanks in advance.
