For 21 years, The MAC AIDS Fund – the cosmetic company’s philanthropic arm – has helped lead the global fight against HIV and AIDS by supporting organisations in over 92 countries working to combat the epidemic and improve the lives of those affected with it. Since 1994, The MAC AIDS Fund has raised over $340 million through its annual VIVA GLAM initiative, making it the largest corporate non-pharmaceutical funder of HIV/AIDS support initiatives.
