We are Greater Cincinnati’s nonprofit devoted to positively changing lives in the fight against HIV/AIDS.
Through HIV prevention, housing and care, our work to end the HIV epidemic is essential to a healthy community.
Until there is a cure, we need friends like you in the fight against HIV/AIDS. Learn how easy it is to get involved.
Your generosity through donations helps us to fulfill our mission of positively changing lives in the fight against HIV/AIDS through prevention, housing and care.
You can honor your friends and families with a donation to Caracole—it’s a great way to give something meaningful (that doesn’t need to be wrapped!) You can either donate online, make your donation over the phone at 513.761.1480 or mail your check to our office with a note informing us of your honoree. We will be happy to send a letter informing the lucky recipient of your generous donation!

Your gift to Caracole could be matched dollar-for-dollar by your employer.

Find out if your employer has a matching gift program today!
Caracole is a Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity

Take action for positive outcomes in our communities!
Our vision for health equity requires action for change. We champion causes to eliminate negative impact and stigma around HIV and to find new solutions to improve lives in our community and beyond.
Help stock our personal care item pantry!
Having access to proper hygiene and cleaning products is essential to overall healthy living. For people living with HIV, maintaining overall health is imperative.
Personal care items like toothpaste or toilet paper cannot be purchased with EBT cards/food stamps. With the majority of our clients living with less than $15K a year, we collect donations of the items listed to distribute to our clients in need.
At Caracole, we are committed to preserving dignity for everyone we serve. As simple as it may sound, your donation of these items is an important contribution in making this happen. Thank you!

Help support Caracole when you shop at Kroger or Amazon!
We are excited to be a part of the Kroger Community Rewards Program and AmazonSmile, and we appreciate our friends joining us! Learn how you can participate in each program below:
The kind folks at Kroger give back to the community through their Kroger Community Rewards Program—and Caracole is one of the recipients! We are calling on all of our friends with Kroger Plus Cards to go Krogering and help raise funds for Caracole’s mission. It’s simple to do and will benefit Caracole all year long.
1. Go to kroger.com
2. Click “Kroger Community Rewards” at the bottom of the page under “Community”
3. If you have an account, log in using your information
4. If you do not have an account, click register your Kroger Plus Card
5. Search for “Caracole” or use our NPO # BR471
6. Then, get shopping!
Every time you swipe your Kroger Plus Card when making a purchase, Caracole will receive a percentage of the total—up to $50,000 per quarter!
There is NO cost to you and it doesn’t affect any other Kroger Rewards perks you may be enjoying.
NOTICE: Kroger Rewards registrations must be renewed on the Kroger Community Rewards website. If you have previously signed up, please update your Kroger Plus Card to help raise funds for Caracole!
