Established in 1999, IMANI is a Not-For-Profit 501(c) 3 organization that was formed as a result of the 1998 Congressional Black Caucus' declaration of a State of Emergency re: the overwhelming epidemic of HIV/AIDS in minority communities. Originally the Integrated Minority AIDS Network Incorporated, IMANI educated physicians and organizations on the latest research, statistics and treatments needed for minority population living with HIV/AIDS.  Headquartered in Dallas TX.

Today, IMANI Network stands as a dynamic force with its headquarters based in Texas and branch offices strategically located in Georgia, Illinois, and Maryland. Over the years, IMANI has successfully secured over $5 million in federal grants, a testament to its unwavering commitment to eliminating disparities within minority communities. 

The organization has evolved to offer a range of impactful programs, including Capacity Building, Education, and Technical Assistance initiatives. These programs aim to provide essential training and support to minority-serving community-based organizations and faith-based organizations, focusing on issues related to infrastructure and access. IMANI's overarching goal is to maximize sustainability, ensuring that these organizations can thrive and continue making a meaningful impact in their respective communities.
