Mission Statement
To link people living with HIV to resources for leading healthy, self-directed lives.
About This Cause
The Aliveness Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that operates a thriving community center located in the Kingfield neighborhood of Minneapolis. Conceived more than 30 years ago over potluck conversations and kitchen table brainstorms, Aliveness offers the promise of community, nutritional support, case management, integrative therapies, and outreach efforts crucial to the overall health and stability of people living with HIV in Minnesota. Anyone living with HIV can apply to be a member. There is no cost associated with membership. The Aliveness Project fulfills its mission of linking people living with HIV to resources for leading healthy, self-directed lives by using the following core approaches: 1. Service Delivery: Programs (case management, prevention, outreach, care linkage) and services (meals, food shelf, integrative therapies, member services) take a skills building, self-determination focused approach to improving overall emotional and physical health outcomes for people living with HIV, and where necessary, foster connection to appropriate resources to remove barriers. 2. Social Support: Our community center model provides a safe and supportive forum for community building and voice-finding for people living with HIV, their families, and others dedicated to improving outcomes for people living with HIV. 3. Education, Awareness, Erasure of Stigma: Staff members, members and volunteers provide accurate, stigma busting information about HIV/AIDS to newly diagnosed people living with HIV and their families, as well as wider community education, to eliminate stigma and influence policies impacting both HIV prevention and care strategies. The Aliveness Project’s vision for Minnesota is decreased stigma of HIV/AIDS, increased access to services, and better health outcomes for people living with HIV. The Aliveness Project’s members feel supported as part of a safe community center that maximizes their health and wellbeing. Staff reflect the epidemic; deliver programs that evolve from member needs and a changing environment; and dedicate themselves to the overall health of the Aliveness community.
