About the M•A•C Foundation: M•A•C Aids Fund was established in 1994 to help men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS around the world. MAF broke new ground by providing financial support to the organizations working with underserved regions and populations. As the biggest corporate non-pharmaceutical donor, the MAF is determined to address the link between poverty and HIV/AIDS, by supporting different organizations around the world that provide a wide range of services to people living with HIV/AIDS. To date, MAF raised more than $200 million (US), exclusively through the sale of M•A•C Viva Glam Lipstick and Lipgloss, donating 100% of the sale price to fight HIV/AIDS.
