Founded in 1984, DIFFA has granted more than $40 million to hundreds of community-based organizations nationwide. Seven years ago, in an effort to continue DIFFA's reputation for innovation in fundraising, DIFFA/Chicago created an Auxiliary Board consisting of Chicago's young design and business professionals. Our mission is to expand awareness of the growing effect of HIV/AIDS within the Chicago community to a more extensive audience.
