Ideal Applicant
U.S.-based health or HIV-focused nonprofits (from local community-based providers to university research and hospital partners) seeking general operating support, capacity-building, or program funding aligned with ending the HIV epidemic and harm-reduction approaches.
Good Fit
- • Provides HIV prevention, treatment, harm reduction, or related services.
- • Seeks general operating or program support rather than large capital endowments.
- • Serves communities in U.S. states (the funder supports organizations across many states).
- • Can demonstrate organizational capacity and measurable outcomes for HIV-related work.
- • Requests fall in typical grant-size bands the funder has awarded (many grants in the $10K–$250K range).
Geography
Observed grants in the latest year reached recipients in 34 states, with the largest state share at about 13%, indicating a national multi-state footprint rather than a local or single-state focus.
Recipient Variety
The latest year shows 108 distinct recipients spanning hospitals, universities, and community-based HIV and harm-reduction organizations, with a mix of new and repeat grantees that indicates a broad, independent recipient set.
New Applicants
Behavioral evidence shows substantial new-entry: many new grantees in multiple years (all recipients new in 2022, 29 new in 2023, 68 new in 2024), which suggests unfamiliar applicants can enter the portfolio even though the website lacks formal application instructions.
