"All of a sudden people with AIDS are having futures. 
The Hoffman Education Fund will give them the 
opportunity to look to the future with more hope."

- Irene Hoffman, Founder of John R. Hoffman Education Fund

We are helping people with HIV/AIDS and their families continue their education. The John R. Hoffman Education Fund provides financial assistance to people with HIV/AIDS or their family members, with the goal of increasing the family’s income. Financial assistance is used for tuition support, books, lab fees and other educational costs as adults further their education and vocational training.

The fund, unlike any other in the country, is named for John Reed Hoffman, who 
died of AIDS at the age of 36 in 1994. Hoffman desired that part of his estate go 
to an AIDS organization. His passion for seeing others realize their potential compelled his mother to create the education fund.

Want to help? By adding to our endowment fund, you are helping people gain
