Rick Marsden Memorial Fund

The Rick Marsden Memorial Fund to End HIV Homelessness at The Aliveness Project is dedicated to providing housing assistance for the Twin Cities’ homeless population living with HIV/AIDS.  For many, the difficulties of living with HIV/AIDS are compounded by homelessness.  Around 90% of Aliveness's nearly 2,000 members are considered low-income, with around a quarter of our members being affected by homelessness at any given time. Through this fund for housing support, we will be able to impact those lives in a significant way. Aliveness successfully secured housing for 41 people last year, and they hope to double that impact in 2020. It has been Rick’s lifelong passion to help the HIV/AIDS community in the Twin Cities.  As his final act of kindness, Rick has bequeathed his estate to The Aliveness Project to establish this fund.  Please join us in honoring Rick by making a contribution to the fund.
