Grant Strategy
As a leader in the global AIDS community, the Elton John AIDS Foundation is committed to overcome the stigma, discrimination and neglect that keeps us from ending AIDS.
As a grant-making organisation, we create bespoke partnerships and announce opportunities for funding while carefully monitoring and evaluating the impact of all projects with our grantees.
WE COMMIT TO
1
Creating urgency, concern and resources
We will highlight to governments and funding partners the urgency and concern for the most vulnerable people in society at risk of or living with HIV so they can access the safe and protected care they need.
2
Change systems
We will use innovative models and data, alone or as part of consortia, to change the way that HIV and AIDS-related deaths are perceived, understood and tackled. Often the most marginalized groups are invisible to public services – because they are ignored or are too fearful to seek help. To provide HIV prevention and care for people, we must know who they are, where they are and what they need.
3
Promoting dignity and compassion
We will create a world in which people living with or at risk of HIV feel empowered to fight for their rights and are treated with compassion, dignity, respect and equity so they can claim their legal rights to health services and support.
