Nebraska AIDS Project, Inc. was organized in 1984 when medical professionals, Catholic nuns, Health Department officials, concerned citizens, friends, family members, and loved ones joined together for one cause: fighting HIV and AIDS.

The Nebraska AIDS Project:
• Educates our community about HIV/AIDS/STDs

• Empowers our community to prevent the spread of HIV and to care for those living with HIV

Currently, NAP serves more than 500 individuals and their families who are affected by HIV and AIDS. The Kearney office alone serves nearly 100 of those individuals living with HIV, and the rate of new infections persists; every 3 ½ days, someone in Nebraska is newly infected with HIV.

Many individuals served by NAP are often in need of basic necessities such as medication, food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, and without NAP, these needs would go unmet. NAP relies heavily on donations from businesses, organizations, and individuals so that they can continue to provide their services statewide and they are thankful for all who give generously to help make their work possible.
