Want to Inquire About Our Sexual Health Programs?

Email Us Directly

The fastest way to reach a real person here is email. We read everything that comes through, and we try to write back within a few business days. Sometimes it's faster. During event season it can be slower, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than pretend otherwise.

Send your questions, your feedback, or your half-formed idea to [email protected]. You don't need a polished pitch. A teacher once emailed asking whether we had any plain-language materials about HIV testing for a tenth-grade health class, and that single message turned into a recurring conversation we still value.

If you're not sure who should see your message, send it anyway. We'll route it to the right person internally so you don't have to guess at the org chart.

Opportunities for Donors and Volunteers

Most of our reach comes from people who decided to give a few hours or a few dollars. That's not a slogan; it's the math of how a community-rooted program actually stays alive.

Volunteers do real work with us. Some staff information tables at community events. Others help translate materials, manage sign-in sheets, or simply show up early to set up chairs. If you can offer a specific skill — graphic design, social media, event logistics, peer education, say so in your email. Skills we didn't even know we needed have shaped programs we now run regularly.

For Donors

Donations fund the unglamorous things: printing, testing supplies, transportation to neighborhoods that don't get enough outreach. We'll happily walk you through where contributions go before you commit to anything. Ask us for that breakdown directly.

For Volunteers

Tell us roughly how much time you have and what pulls you toward this work. We don't expect a resume. We do read every note, and we follow up with the next practical step rather than a generic welcome packet.

Grant Inquiry Process

Funders and grant-making organizations often want to know how we operate before a formal application opens. We welcome those early conversations, and we keep the process straightforward.

Start with an email to [email protected] and put the word "Grant" somewhere in the subject line. That small cue moves your message to the right desk quickly. Include the focus area you fund, any reporting expectations, and your rough timeline. The more we know early, the less back-and-forth later.

One honest caveat for this stage: our outcome data is strongest for programs we've run for several cycles, and thinner for pilots launched in the last year. We'll tell you which is which rather than dress up a new effort as a proven one.

Building Community Partnerships

Some of our most durable work started as a conversation with a clinic, a faith group, a barbershop owner, or a campus club. Partnership doesn't require a formal contract on day one. It usually starts with a shared goal and a willingness to share space.

A neighborhood health center reached out a while back because their patients kept asking questions the clinic wasn't equipped to answer in detail. We brought materials and a few trained volunteers; they brought trust their community had built over years. Neither of us could have done that reach alone.

If your organization serves people who'd benefit from honest, judgment-free sexual health information, we'd like to hear from you. Tell us who you reach and what gaps you see on the ground. We co-design rather than hand over a template, because what works in one neighborhood rarely transfers cleanly to the next.

You can also explore our media campaigns to see the tone and approach we bring before you decide whether it fits your community. And if you simply want to know more about who we are, the About Rap-It-Up page covers our history and the people behind the work.

However you found us, the door is open. Write to [email protected] and let's start the conversation.
