Under One Roof generates unrestricted funds for HIV/AIDS service organizations (ASO's) through the sale of high quality gift merchandise. Using a unique business model, Under One Roof generates critical private sector funding for 33 non-profit organizations enabling them to focus on their service mission to provide direct and very necessary support to men, women and children struggling with the effects of the AIDS epidemic. These critical services include medical and psychological support, rent and legal assistance, access to hot meals and emergency financial assistance. 100% of Under One Roof's profits are disbursed to ASO's on a quarterly basis.

After funding initial investment in wholesale inventory, a participating AIDS service organization can re-invest its payout into additional purchases of merchandise, ultimately leveraging an initial investment, multiple times. Overall annual return on investment (ROI) for ASO's exceeds 50% annually at Under One Roof. To date, Under One Roof has sold over $11MM in retail merchandise benefiting the HIV/AIDS community.
