MAC Overview

The mission of the Multicultural AIDS Coalition (MAC) is to mobilize communities of color to end the HIV epidemic. MAC has a 35-year history of delivering culturally and linguistically appropriate, evidence-based HIV/STI/hepatitis and substance misuse prevention and care services focused on BIPOC and other residents of Greater Boston. We prioritize sub-populations that are disproportionately impacted by HIV. In addition to direct care services, MAC provides: (a) technical assistance and capacity building to public and private agencies that serve marginalized populations; (b) local, regional, and national community mobilization support and management; and (c) community-based research on a range of topics; and (c) fiscal sponsorship and management services for aligned organizations. The current (FY 2025) budget is $3.8 million.

Our services are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, attracting clients who often are uncomfortable accessing services elsewhere. The core programs were all originally shaped by members of the communities they serve, either launched at MAC or starting as stand-alone agencies that later merged with MAC.
