HIV Young Leaders Fund¶
2010 Request for Proposals¶
The Fund seeks grant proposals from organizations working to address the needs of young people most-affected by HIV in their communities, including young people living with HIV.
Eligibility¶
Only youth-led organizations or youth-led projects are eligible for funding. Youth-led is defined as the project or organization leader being 30 years of age or younger. Key activities supported by the Fund are: Local, national, regional or international HIV advocacy; local peer-based HIV services; and community mobilization. There are two application tracts – one for Core Funding and one for Project Funding. Applying organizations and projects must serve young people most-at-risk of HIV in their community and/or young people living with HIV.
Deadline
The deadline for all applications is May 1, 2010. Grantees will be notified in July 2010.
Grantmaking Process¶
Nine regional Community Review Panels (CRPs) composed of young leaders with experience in youth HIV and AIDS issues will review grant applications from their region and make grant recommendations. One global Community Review Panel, composed of one representative from each regional CRP, will make the final grant decisions.
