What Maui Aids Foundation Inc does

Maui AIDS Foundation Inc (MAF) is a Hawaii-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1986 in Wailuku, Maui, operating as the sole Ryan White and HOPWA-funded AIDS Service Organization for Maui County (Maui, Molokai, Lanai). The organization delivers a free, confidential, wraparound service model centered on HIV/STI clinical care (PrEP, PEP, Bridge Program, STI testing/treatment), case management, and prevention/harm reduction services (syringe exchange, Narcan distribution, hygiene kits). It operates primarily through a clinical services office at 1935 Main Street, Suite 101, supplemented by mobile outreach, evening testing hours, and partnerships with the Maui Police Department CORE program, Maui Community Correctional Center, Mauliola Pharmacy, and Aloha Maui Pride.

MAF's service portfolio spans four functional pillars: (1) clinical services including HIV medical care, PrEP/PEP, and STI screening/treatment delivered by an in-house Family Nurse Practitioner; (2) client services including case management, rental subsidy assistance, food pantry, transportation, dental assistance, and health insurance enrollment (MedQuest, Medicare, Healthcare.gov); (3) prevention and harm reduction including syringe exchange, Narcan training, and education programming; and (4) community engagement through events like the Maui Pride Festival and Transgender Day of Remembrance. The organization reported 141 active HIV/AIDS case management clients in 2026 and zero new HIV cases from 2024 to 2026. It holds a 96% Charity Navigator rating with 4-star designation and received the 2024 Suzanne Richmond-Crum Award from the Hawaii State Department of Health.

Revenue is generated through a diversified nonprofit funding model: federal grants (Ryan White Care Act, HOPWA, CDC), state grants (Hawaii Department of Health), corporate sponsorships (Gilead Sciences, ViiV Healthcare), and individual donations via a Neon CRM donation portal. All services are provided at no cost to eligible clients meeting Hawaii residency and income requirements. The organization is governed by a board of directors (Buu-An Nguyen, President; Tracy Fujita, Secretary/Treasurer; Kevin Block, Director; Valentina Watson, Director Emeritus) and led by Executive Director Linda Puppolo (40 years of Maui community service) with Director of Clinical Services Bryan Chin overseeing the free clinic. The organization has 15-19 staff across clinical, client services, prevention/education, housing, and administration functions.

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Direct peers

• San Francisco AIDS Foundation: Long-established San Francisco ASO offering HIV testing, PrEP, clinical linkages, and wraparound support services — a structurally analogous AIDS service organization model to MAF, just at urban scale.
• AIDS Foundation of Chicago: Mid-sized regional ASO offering case management, housing assistance, and prevention services — a scaled analog of MAF's HIV care and social support model.
• Desert AIDS Project (DAP Health): Palm Springs-based ASO providing integrated HIV care, case management, housing, and behavioral health in a defined regional catchment — closely comparable service mix to MAF's wraparound model.
• GMHC (Gay Men's Health Crisis): Historic NYC-based ASO providing HIV testing, care coordination, and supportive services to people living with HIV — a longer-tenured peer operating a similar ASO service delivery model.
• Hawaii Health and Harm Reduction Center: Honolulu-based AIDS service organization (formed from the merger of The Life Foundation and CHOW Project) that delivers HIV prevention, harm reduction, and case management across Oahu — the closest functional peer to MAF within Hawaii.
• Gregory House Programs: Hawaii-based nonprofit providing housing, case management, and supportive services specifically for people living with HIV — directly comparable to MAF's housing and client services programs.

Others

• NASTAD: National association representing state HIV/AIDS and hepatitis program leaders — an ecosystem/funding partner rather than a direct service peer, but a key convener in MAF's funding and policy environment.

Broad incumbents

• AIDS Healthcare Foundation: The largest global HIV/AIDS organization, operating free clinics, pharmacies, and advocacy — a much larger incumbent that delivers overlapping HIV testing, treatment, and PrEP services but at national/international scale.
• Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest (Hawaii affiliate): Broader sexual and reproductive health provider that delivers overlapping STI testing, PrEP, and LGBTQ+ inclusive services in Hawaii — adjacent rather than direct HIV-specialized peer.
