Interfaith AIDS Ministry of Greater Danbury, Inc. is a (501-C-3) tax-exempt, non-profit United Way organization. IAM's financial support comes from over 30 local congregations of various faith perspectives, individual donations through fund-raising events and our major-donor campaign and from various grant sources.

Interfaith AIDS Ministry was formed in 1989, as a logical outgrowth of monthly prayer and healing services offering support for people affected by AIDS that were held at St. James' Episcopal Church in Danbury beginning in 1987. (Rev.) Carole Johansen was IAM's first director. Under her guidance, IAM developed strong pastoral and spiritual support in the community.

IAM's Board of Directors are very active in fund-raising. Several events are held annually and are becoming more and more successful as the Board has been actively courting community participation.
