Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) was founded in 1984 and is Australias oldest and largest AIDS charity. BGF assists men, women and children directly disadvantaged by HIV and AIDS in NSW to maintain a reasonable quality of life through the provision of financial assistance, financial counselling, supported housing and employment support.

Demand on the services BGF provides is at record levels as more and more people are experiencing entrenched poverty as a result of living with a chronic and unpredictable illness. BGF assists 15% of men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS and poverty in NSW. 50% of people with an AIDS diagnosis in NSW access BGF's services. Over 60% of BGF's income is derived directly from its fundraising efforts. 100% of direct financial assistance provided to clients comes from our fundraising activities.
