Support The Network

We celebrate our 20th Year Anniversary by asking that those who benefit from our no fee or cost services to make a donation. We provide a wide range of support services such as housing and rental assistance, treatment counseling, clinical care referrals and management, insurance and entitlement program management, legal referrals and other services as our clients request them. Our goal is not profit, but access to efficient, compassionate health care for all. Please donate through Network for Good powered GuideStar. Twenty dollars, more if you can - less if you can't. It's all tax-deductible as we are a not-for-profit. Thanks! And if you need help, let us know.

Support The Access Project

Through our national program The Access Project we assist people throughout the United States in many ways, from helping them to get coverage of co-payments for medications and health care services, to providing individualized counseling and educational services regarding insurance coverage, government assistance programs for crucial needs, and care options for HIV, chronic hepatitis and other diseases when possible.

To support us you may also send a check or money order to The Network, 611 Broadway, Suite 613, New York, NY 10012. All contributions are tax-deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. We are able to offer our no fee national services and resources thanks to small, medium and large donations from individuals, foundations, corporations and government grants. We are an IRS registered 501(c)(3) organization. Our federal tax ID number is 11-2920549.

Service Figures
November 15, 2008 to December 15, 2008

We serve large numbers of people throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. We broke the 50,000 new clients with HIV, chronic hepatitis or both mark since October 2006 this month.

In the last 30 days, the majority of our clients resided in New York - especially New York City, California, Georgia, Texas, Florida, Washington DC, New Jersey, and Indiana. For the first time in 24 months just a little over 50% of clients earned between $25,000 and $45,000 thousand a year and had some type of insurance. We had many newly unemployed clients who we were able to help make it through at least until the first of the year.

We do not promote any specific drug, medication or company that sells a specific product. We don't practice medicine, or charge or bill our clients. But we do let you know of all your available options.

We work directly with doctors and health care professionals in many settings, community organizations and agencies, and individuals who are concerned about discretion and confidentiality and their health. You can live with HIV or chronic hepatitis if you get timely and appropriate care.

We serve people with hepatitis co-infection, and mono-infection in New York City, and throughout the country with the help and inspiration of a growing network of hepatitis organizations that focus on hepatitis or hepatitis co-infection. We have been involved with chronic hepatitis treatment development and advocacy for over 5 years.

Our clients have private insurance, no insurance, Medicaid, Medicare, Medicare Part D, and those also pay for care and treatments out of pocket. They are men and women of many races and ethnicities,include men who are gay or who have sex with men, straight identifying men and women of all races. A significant number of our clients have a recreational drug or alcohol or mental health issues, and we treat them with the same respect and dignity of the majority of our clients who don't.

We celebrate our 20th Anniversary all year until October 6, 2009. We're asking that everyone donate $20.00 sometime from now until then. More if you can, less or nothing if you can't. Thanks! And if you need help, let us know. Please donate through Network for Good powered GuideStar.
