Request for Proposals: Island Health STOP HIV/AIDS Community Grants Program

logo-vihaThe STOP HIV/AIDS Program is excited to announce a call for proposals for our Community Grants Program. We will be awarding grants of up to $10,000 each (to a total of $50,000) to communities or groups who are interested in planning and delivering activities addressing HIV prevention, testing and engagement into care and treatment. Special focus will be given to specific priority populations who experience a higher burden of disease or who may face additional barriers to accessing or engaging with HIV services. These include: Aboriginal people (First Nations, Inuit and Metis), LGBTQ individuals, women and youth.

Interested communities and organizations are asked to submit completed proposal templates by December 11, 2015, to Angela Reid [email protected]. Information on how to apply can be found in the attached Guide. Communities or groups will have nine months to complete their activities.

Please contact Angela Reid, CD Surveillance Officer, with any questions and please share through your networks.

We look forward to receiving your proposals.

Healthy regards,

The STOP HIV/AIDS Team
