Northeast Florida Aids Network

What Northeast Florida Aids Network does

Northeast Florida AIDS Network (NFAN) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization founded in 1989 and headquartered at 751 Oak Street, Suite 520 in Jacksonville, Florida. The organization provides HIV/AIDS support services to individuals and families across four Northeast Florida counties (Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Nassau). Its service portfolio includes the Mary H. Lewis Food Pantry (founded 1990, serving 920 unduplicated individuals in 2025), medical case management, housing assistance, health insurance premium assistance (2,649 months delivered), medical nutrition therapy, free HIV testing (via JASMYN partnership), and community support through groups such as Positive Attitudes and Client Community Luncheons. NFAN is a United Way Agency and Guidestar-registered organization.

NFAN's revenue model is donations- and event-driven rather than technology-based. The organization raises funds through individual charitable contributions, corporate sponsorship tiers (Title Partner, Gold Fork, Silver Spoon), signature events led by the annual Dining Out For Life Jacksonville fundraiser, and grants from national HIV/AIDS funders including Broadway Cares, Gilead Sciences, and ViiV Healthcare. Services are provided free of charge to qualifying individuals living with HIV. NFAN's marketing and community-building approach is community-led and event-driven, leveraging media partnerships (Action News Jax, Folio Weekly), a volunteer ambassador program, and recurring gatherings like the JACK Happy Hour at Birdies.

The organization operates a lean team of 11-50 employees and depends on a dense ecosystem of partners including restaurant donors, healthcare providers (UF CARES, AHF Pharmacy), pharmaceutical companies, and community organizations. NFAN's strategic emphasis is on sustaining its regional food security and case management mission while expanding service volume (e.g., 53% YoY growth in meals served) within its established four-county footprint.
