Partnerships

The Faith COMPASS Center supports Southern community partners as we work to address the HIV epidemic together. Our partners include faith communities, non-profit organizations, and other community-based groups and artists that are uniquely positioned to reach and engage people living with and affected by HIV. Through their grant-funded projects, these partners are implementing a range of evidence-based strategies to increase access to HIV testing and care, reduce religious-based stigma and discrimination, and connect people to services in local communities.

Partnerships are critical to addressing health disparities that exist and to promoting health and wellness, social justice, and empowerment in their local communities and the region.
