The Beneficiaries - Who receives the funds

Every year the Beneficiary Committee meets at the end of the calendar year to begin the process again of establishing the criteria and objectives for RFP (Request for Proposals) guidelines.  These RFPs are sent out to many HIV/AIDS agencies and organizations that provide direct services in education, services and prevention in HIV/AIDS. 

For 2009/2010 Funding Cycle, the Foundation wishes to impact underserved communities being impacted by HIV/AIDS. The Foundation will also be funding organizations that are not traditionally involved in delivery of direct services but will provide critical education and prevention materials particularly those focus on the emerging youth and adolescent population.
