How much did the memorial cost and how was it funded?
The total cost for the memorial, including an endowment for maintenance and programming, is over $6 million. Approximately $4 million came from City and State public sources, with the remaining funds contributed by generous private donors. The maintenance reserve will ensure the memorial stays beautiful forever. The Board of Directors of the NYC AIDS Memorial organization will continue to fundraise to support maintenance and to fund public programming associated with the memorial in furtherance of our mission to connect current and future generations with the ongoing history of the AIDS epidemic.
