Contact Us

As a leader in the global AIDS community, we’re committed to overcoming the stigma, discrimination and neglect that keeps us from ending AIDS.

We create partnerships and offer funding for programmes around the world, carefully monitoring and evaluating the impact of all projects with our grantees.

Current Funding Opportunities

WE COMMIT TO

1

Creating urgency and concern

We’ll highlight the greatest needs in society to governments and funding partners, so people living with HIV can safely access the care they need.

2

Changing systems

We’ll innovate – alone and in collaboration – to change the way HIV and AIDS-related deaths are understood and tackled, making sure public services see, reach and protect the people who most need care.

3

Promoting dignity and compassion

We’ll create a world where people living with, or at risk of, HIV feel empowered to claim their rights to services and support, and are treated with compassion, dignity, respect and equity.

OUR PRIORITIES

The projects we invest in and partnerships we form are carefully chosen with a focus on the same priorities as all our work, putting the people and places most vulnerable to HIV/AIDS at the heart of our response:

  • Empowering young people
  • Supporting LGBTQ+ communities
  • Stamping out stigma for people who use drugs
  • Working where the need is greatest: eastern Europe and central Asia
  • Breaking down barriers to care in the US

COVID-19 Emergency Fund

For people living with or at risk of HIV, the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic raised the barriers to health and wellness even higher. As it threatened global gains against HIV, we launched a COVID-19 Emergency Fund in April 2020 to protect the people we’ve always sought to serve through HIV care, treatment and prevention.
