National AIDS Memorial Grove

The National AIDS Memorial Grove in Golden Gate Park is a 7.5-acre living memorial dedicated to all lives touched by AIDS. Our mission is to provide a healing sanctuary, to increase awareness of this national treasure, and to promote learning and understanding of the human tragedy of the AIDS pandemic

Description:
In 1996, the National AIDS Memorial Grove became the only federally designated memorial honoring all lives touched by AIDS when the U.S. Congress and President Clinton passed and signed legislation making the Grove a national memorial, a status like that of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Mount Rushmore, and the USS Arizona Memorial.

Both the Grove and the endowment that helps to ensure its ongoing care and maintenance have been created by and continue to rely primarily on private funding. Although it is a national memorial, the Grove receives no federal funding.
