2010 Grantees

in Recent News

The HIV Young Leaders Fund is proud to announce its first round of grantees! These grantees were selected by the 2010 Community Review Panel (CRP). The CRP is composed of 12 young people — from 12 countries — with experience working at the grassroots level on HIV issues. CRP members applied through an open call for applications and were selected by a peer review process.

For this first round, the HIV Young Leaders Fund received approximately 2,700 applications from around the world and in 5 languages. The Fund was able to support 23 grantees. CRP members selected grantees based on the Fund’s priorities and core values. All grantees will receive support and mentorship during the grant period.

Later in 2010 we will release a guidance document on common reasons applicants did not receive funding to assist organizations in the future. The Fund is actively working to increase the amount of funding available for small grants in order to meet the clear demand coming from youth-led initiatives.
