East Bay Getting to Zero is led by the voices of some of the region’s most experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate and motivated community partners, including people living with HIV, people most affected by HIV, and people who conduct HIV-related advocacy and service provision in community-based organizations, schools, and healthcare settings.

Funding for the community events, campaigns and materials, some working groups, steering committee, and EBGTZ staff time is from: the Alameda County Offices of HIV Care & HIV Prevention, the Levi Strauss Foundation, Viiv Positive Action, Gilead Foundation and Kaiser Community Benefits. Funding for linkage and prevention working group activities, capacity building and clinician core team staff is from the Pacific AIDS Education and Training Center (PAETC), Alameda County Public Health Department and Alameda County Health Care Services Agency. The funding and support is very much appreciated and critical for the existence of EBGTZ and movement towards collective goals.
