Engraving Assistance Program

We recognize that the donation required for an engraving in the Circle of Friends may be a barrier for many, and have therefore introduced the National AIDS Memorial Grove Engraving Assistance Program. By creating a partnership between those individuals with a demonstrated financial need with donors who have designated matching donations expressly towards this new program, that individual is able to have a name engraved. Once engraved, the new name stands as a testimonial to both the generosity of benefactors of the Grove as well as to honor the person so memorialized. Individuals who are interested in participating in the National AIDS Memorial Grove Engraving Assistance Program either as a beneficiary or donor should call (415) 765-0497 for more information.
