Expanding Opportunity for Every Community

Ribbon partners with national and local organizations to strengthen health and community well-being. Together, we help build that support healthy, secure lives.

Who We Are

Ribbon is a national nonprofit that works alongside organizations and communities to strengthen health-focused efforts across the United States.

We provide training, hands-on support, and learning tools that help partners better serve people who are often left out of traditional systems of care.

Our work began in HIV and aging and continues to grow as we support initiatives that center Black women, strengthen communities, and advance long-term, systems-level impact.

National Reach

Capacity building across the U.S.

We support national and local organizations working with people aging with HIV and Black women and girls impacted by health inequities.

Public Influence

Shaping how stories are told

Strategic Insight

Evidence that informs action

We translate research, practice, and community insight into strategies organizations can use to strengthen programs and systems.
