Our Mission

Mission: The Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund (OACF) is a fundraising and advocacy organization dedicated to providing financial support and resources to HIV/AIDS service providers in the state of Oklahoma. Our goal is to reduce new HIV transmissions, stigma and health disparities while increasing access to care and HIV/AIDS related services. What We Do: OACF provides funding and resources to the most pressing needs of the HIV/AIDS community in Oklahoma. We conduct on- going needs assessments and vet the organizations providing direct assistance to families and individuals living with or affected by this disease. We monitor HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment and care programs and initiatives annually to ensure they are efficiently and effectively working to prevent the spread of HIV and/or assisting those living with HIV/AIDS through the HIV care continuum in order to maintain a healthy life and viral suppression.

Who We Are

The Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund started from a mother’s love. Our founders, Jackie and Barbara Copper’s son was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in the late 80’s. For 18 months, the Coopers traveled back and forth to New York to be with their son as he fought his own battle with the disease. The hospital was filled with young men dying, many alone, not wanting to tell their families. Mrs. Cooper made the vow that when her son’s journey was over-her journey would begin. She decided no Oklahoman would battle the disease alone. As a prominent figure in Oklahoma, she and Jackie started the Oklahoma AIDS Care Fund and Red Tie Night.
