New York City AIDS Fund Invites Applications for HIV/AIDS Prevention, Services, and Advocacy Programs

Housed at the New York Community Trust, the New York City AIDS Fund is a group of grantmaking organizations dedicated to helping community groups provide vital programs and implement advocacy efforts that address the local HIV/AIDS epidemic.

This year, the AIDS Fund expects to make grants totaling $800,000 to nonprofit agencies in the city's five boroughs for innovative programs and efforts in the areas of HIV/AIDS prevention, services, and advocacy.

Grants of up to $50,000 will be made for primary HIV prevention programs that address underlying challenges related to HIV infections, such as stigma, homophobia, relationship violence, substance use, and trauma. Projects may involve HIV-negative and/or HIV-positive individuals.

Grants of up to $80,000 will be made to improve the capacity of service programs to identify, test, and treat HIV-positive individuals. Of special interest are projects that improve care in multiple provider organizations and improve understanding of cultural values and sensitivity to life circumstances.

Grants of up to $40,000 will be made to support advocacy and public policy efforts that seek to increase public awareness about HIV/AIDS issues and ensure that HIV/AIDS remains a priority for public and private funders. Proposals are encouraged from organizations with projects that include individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.

Eligible New York City not-for-profit organizations include HIV/AIDS-specific and general community-based groups, health and social service providers, and umbrella organizations and coalitions. Eligible organizations may submit only one application for consideration.
