The M·A·C AIDS Fund supports men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS around the world and was established in 1994 by M·A·C Cosmetics. Since that date, the Fund has received over $135 million in revenue from specific products the company has dedicated to this cause, and through the annual Kids Helping Kids Card program.


Founded in 1975 by social scientist and author Daniel Yankelovich and former U.S. Secretary of State Cyrus Vance, Public Agenda works to help the nation’s leaders better understand the public’s point of view and to help average citizens better understand critical policy issues. Our in-depth research on how citizens think about policy has been praised for its credibility and fairness, by elected officials, experts and decision makers from across the political spectrum. Our citizen education materials and award-winning website, PublicAgenda.org, offer unbiased information about the challenges the country faces on a wide range of policy issues.
