The Balm In Gilead is a not-for-profit, non-governmental organization whose mission is to improve the health status of people of the African Diaspora by building the capacity of faith communities to address life-threatening diseases, especially HIV/AIDS.

The Balm In Gilead's pioneering achievements have supported thousands of faith institutions within the United States and in Africa to become leaders in preventing HIV/AIDS by providing comprehensive educational programs and offering compassionate support to encourage those infected and affected to seek and maintain treatment. In 2005, the Balm In Gilead expanded its work to address cervical cancer in Black women and other health disparities that plaque Black communities.

In 2006, The Balm In Gilead moved its headquarters from New York City to Richmond, VA with a keen focus to bring more attention to the devastation of HIV/AIDS, poverty and lack of health care and treatment among American Blacks in the South. Today, the Balm In Gilead has two satellites offices in Washington, DC and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
